INCIDENT: Runway Juvenile
LOCATION: 2600 Block of Desoto Road, El Mirage
SUMMARY: On Tuesday, February 11, 2025, at 6:16 a.m., deputies responded to a report of a runaway juvenile in the 2600 block of Desoto Road in El Mirage.
According to the caller, his son left the residence at 4:00 a.m., in his parent’s vehicle. The juvenile sent a text he was going to Mexico and took his passport and money. Deputy C. Padilla called the juvenile and learned he was driving in San Diego. Deputy Padilla was able to convince the juvenile to pull over and provide an address where he was.
Contact was made with San Diego Police Department who went and located the juvenile and stayed with him until his parents could drive to San Diego to pick him up.
We would like to thank the family for calling us quickly so we could locate him before he crossed the Mexico border and thank San Diego Police Department for their immediate response. There are rumors that a missing person must be gone 24 hours before contacting law enforcement, this is not true. The sooner you contact law enforcement; the better chance law enforcement has to locate your loved one.
