SOUTH COFFEYVILLE, Okla. - Two teenage runaways from Oologah were reunited with their parents late Monday night after being located near the Oklahoma-Kansas border.

According to the Rogers County Sheriff's Office, Tyler Ferguson, 13, and Jacob Forbes, 14, were believed to be heading north with an older male and thought to be in imminent danger.

The boys were last seen Monday at the Eagle Fuels Convenience store in Nowata near Highway 169.  Late Monday night, authorities in South Coffeyville alerted Rogers County authorities that the teens had been located.

The pair is believed to have hopped a train in Talala and ridden it to South Coffeyville.

It's not clear whether they'll face any charges.
