Two teenage girls who disappeared from their Georgia homes Wednesday were found safe late Thursday night in Tennessee, Channel 2 Action News reported.

The two men accused of taking them have been charged with kidnapping, the report said.

Kirsten Kamradt of Barnesville and Amber Henry of High Falls left their homes Wednesday night and were picked up by two men who were thought to have taken them to Tennessee or North Carolina, Chief Deputy Brad White of the Lamar County Sheriff’s Office said. The girls were considered to be in danger, authorities said.

The young men accused of taking the teens -- Joshua Paul Crowe of Barnesville and Dustin Blake Elliott of Upson County, both 19 -- are now in police custody, Channel 2 said.

The search included Lamar County Sheriff's deputies, Barnesville police, Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, FBI, U.S. Marshals Service and National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
