The sheriff's office did not share where the teenagers and the SUV were found.
"We're doing the routine things we do when we have runaway juveniles – call their friends and check places they frequent," Jenny Fulton, spokeswoman for Jefferson County Sheriff's Office, told CBS4 earlier on Saturday. "This one could put public in danger. You've got a 13 year old and a 14 year old and somebody is driving a vehicle."
The sheriff's office says a 13-year-old girl stole a parent's 2018 black Kia Sorento from the 4600 block of S. Quail Street. Officials believe they disappeared between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m.
