Two Roscommon County teens taken from Prudenville residence, police are asking the public for help

Roscommon County Sheriff’s officials are asking for the public’s help to locate two missing children from Prudenville.

Police said fifteen-year-old Tamara Perez and thirteen-year-old Iris Perez were playing outside around 8 in the evening with a neighborhood boy. The boy alerted the girls’ parent when he could not find the girls.

Police say they believe the teens are traveling in a newer, white Jeep Cherokee but it is unclear who they’re with ... the investigation is continuing.

The Michigan State Police, the Michigan Intelligence Operations Center, and Law Enforcement Authorities in Florida are actively assisting Roscommon County law enforcement to recover the children in this incident.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Roscommon County Sheriff’s Department at (989)-275-5101 or contact them on their Facebook page.
