Workers find runaway teen who secretly lived in bedding store for days

A 15-year-old runaway Roseville teen who spent four nights inside a Bed, Bath and Beyond store is undergoing psychiatric exams at a juvenile detention centre. The teen was charged on Friday with larceny and one count of home truancy.

His adopted mother refused to post a personal bond because she said she feared the teen would run away again - for the seventh time.



Investigators said the boy ran away from home on Sunday and walked into the store near Gratiot Avenue and 13 Mile Road just before closing. He went undetected for four nights as employees locked up the store for the night.

Police said the boy found a blanket from a shelf to stay warm and then took shelter under a riser. They said the boy would eat peanuts and food he found on the store's shelf and go to the bathroom in a pop bottle.
