SWANZEY, N.H. – Police say a boy who’s been missing since last week has been located.

On Saturday the Swanzey Police Department asked for the public’s help in locating Anthony Carter, 16, who had last been seen leaving his home late one night earlier in the week and hadn’t been heard from since.

Initially, police believed that Carter may have been in the central New Hampshire area with possible sightings in Manchester, then in an update Monday night police said he could possibly be in the greater Boston area, with possible sightings reported of him as a passenger in a black Volkswagen.

Police also noted that Carter’s cell phone and social media accounts had been shut down.

Shortly before 11 p.m. Tuesday night police reported that Carter had been located, but provided no further details.

In a public post on Facebook Carter’s family said he is “safe and on his way home.”

Foul play was not suspected in this case.
