AN Amber Alert has been issued for two 14-year-old teenage girls as authorities say they are "in danger".
Police are frantically searching for teens Emilee Solomon and Aysha Lynn Cross, who were last seen on June 29 in McGregor, about 20 miles southwest of Waco, Texas.
The Texas Department of Public Safety issued the alert five days after the girls were last seen because claiming the "disappearances initially did not meet the department’s criteria for Amber Alerts," KXTV reported.
“We are following all leads and doing everything we can to find these young girls,” McGregor police Lt Ron McCurry said.
The teens became best friends after getting together shortly before school ended for summer break, Emilee's stepmom, Sara Dunn, told the outlet.
Emilee spent Wednesday night at Aysha’s house and called to ask if she could stay longer, Dunn said.

Later, she called to say an uncle was picking her up, but that did not happen.
Since their disappearance, Dunn and Aysha's mother, Shannon Valles, have desperately been searching for the teens – putting up pamphlets and spreading the word on social media.
“I want her to know that everything is OK,” Dunn told KXTV.
“It doesn’t matter what she has done. I want to tell her to just come home. We love you no matter what. Our door is open. Come home.”
