You may have gotten a dramatic phone message from the Chico Police department this morning asking you to be on the lookout for a van of children that went missing in Humboldt County last night.

Don’t be alarmed. The Outpost put in a call to the Chico Police Department this morning, and a dispatcher informed us that the six children have been located.

According to the emergency phone alert, the children were last seen leaving Humboldt State University yesterday at 8:30 p.m. Apparently the teens were overdue returning form a Boys and Girls Club field trip, but they have since been located safe and sound.
