NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) — Norfolk Police say they have arrested a 19-year-old man who allegedly made a hoax call demanding ransom in exchange for releasing one of two teenagers who were reported missing this week.

Police say Christopher M. Dunlap made the call around 8:50 p.m. Wednesday night, authorities said in a news release.

Detectives then investigated and found the ransom demand was a hoax. They found Dunlap and arrested him in the City of Virginia Beach.

Dunlap is charged with one felony count of attempting to obtain money under false pretenses, according to police.

He is being held at the Norfolk City Jail without bond.

The two girls, 14-year-old Sincerity Ennels and 15-year-old Emily Morrison, returned home safe on Thursday, police said.
