Teens rescued a missing girl who disappeared in Pennsylvania over the weekend, according to reports.
The two teenagers, Temar Boggs and his friend, Chris Garcia, chased after a suspicious vehicle on their bikes before making the rescue, according to Lancaster Online.
Boggs was helping move a couch when a man asked him if they spotted a missing girl. Later after they watched television, they noticed throngs of officers in their Lancaster, Pennsylvania neighborhood.
Boggs and six other friends took part in the search, he said.
“We got all of our friends to go look for her. We made our own little search party,” Boggs, 15, told the publication Saturday
Boggs and Garcia later decided to ride the streets to search for the girl. He spotted a maroon car on a hill where police were positioned.
The driver then began to pick up the pace and weaved in and out of streets as the boys followed along on their bikes.
After a chase, the driver then looked at Boggs and Garcia, stopped the car, and pushed the girl out. “Every time we’d go down the street, he’d turn back around,” he said, according to WPTV.
And when the girl was on the street, she went to Boggs.
“She runs to my arms and said, ‘I need to see my mommy’,” Boggs said.
He recalled holding the girl and walking back to the search party before giving her to her mother. The girl’s grandmother, Tracey Clay, told WPTV: “He’s our hero. There is just no words to say.”
When he heard Clay describing him as a hero, Boggs stayed humble.
“I’m just a normal person who did a thing that anybody else would do,” Boggs told Lancaster Online. “It was like fate, it was like meant for me and Chris to be there. If we wouldn’t have left (to look for the girl) who knows what would have happened to the little girl,” he said.
