A Grant teen who was last seen around 7 p.m. Thursday after leaving sailing practice at the White Bear Lake Yacht Club in Dellwood was found safe on Friday afternoon near the intersection of Echo Street and Dellwood Avenue, authorities said.
The 15-year-old was found after a resident saw him walking out of some woods in the area, said Cmdr. Tim Harris of the Washington County Sheriff’s Office.
He was dropped at the White Bear Lake Yacht Club at 56 Dellwood Ave. for sailing practice at 3:30 p.m. Thursday. He participated with his sailing class and completed practice, but did not return home, the report states. He was supposed to be done by 6:30 p.m.
Sheriff’s deputies were called to the White Bear Yacht Club at 6:50 p.m. The teen was seen on video surveillance and by staff leaving east across the golf course in the direction of his home on foot wearing a blue shirt, grey shorts and black Crocs around 7 p.m.
“The initial report came in as a missing-person’s report, and then the investigation turned into a search for a juvenile runaway,” Harris said.
The Washington County Sheriff’s Office used drones and a canine unit to assist in the search; the Minnesota State Patrol also sent their helicopter to aid in the search, Harris said.
Residents in the area were asked to check outbuildings and video surveillance during the search.
