Original post

A 17-year-old boy is missing tonight in Stafford County.

Authorities released little information on the missing endangered teenager. They said the boy went missing from the area of Belle Plains Road and The Vane Way south Stafford.

A sheriff’s spokesman did not release the name of the boy, age, or could tell us the circumstances of the teenager’s disappearance.

The teen is 6 feet 1 inch tall, weights 155 pounds, and was last seen wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and a plaid jacket.

Anyone with information is encouraged to call Stafford Crime Solvers.

As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”
