Teens Caught After Escaping from Hillside Facility in Hopewell

Four teenagers who escaped from the Hillside Children's Center in Hopewell with a stolen car have been found, and two of them have been charged.

The Ontario County Sheriff's Office says 17-year-old Nicole Durkee and two juveniles assaulted a staff member at Hillside and tried to steal her car keys. They ran from the facility, and shortly afterwards Durkee stole a car from an open garage at a nearby home. She drove the juveniles and 17-year-old Michael Lloyd to Rochester, where police found the car and the two juveniles in Greece. Lloyd was found in Greece several days later and arrested for unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and being a passenger in a stolen car. Durkee was found last week on Lime Street in Rochester and arrested.

Both Durkee and Lloyd are being held on bail.
