Camden County Police are looking for information on a number of teenagers—some of whom have been deemed "frequent runaways"—who have been reported missing from Camden City in the past week.

Dante Chislom, 17, of Alabama Road in Fairview, is described as a six-foot-tall, 170-pound, black male with black hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a red sweatshirt, blue jeans, and black sneakers.

Police describe Chislom as "a frequent runaway" who has been reported missing four times prior, and was once found to be with relatives in Wildwood, where he used to live.

Samad Rogers, 17, of Clinton Street in East Camden, is described as a five-foot-nine-inch, 130-pound, black male with red/brown hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing blue jeans and a camouflage jacket.

Rogers is also described as "a frequent runaway," reported missing 11 times previously to Camden County Police, who said he "is known to frequent Whitman Park and Parkside."

Kyree Smalls, 17, of Benson Street in Lanning Square, is described as a six-foot-tall, 195-pound, black male with black hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a brown coat, blue jeans, and white Nike sneakers.

Smalls has also previously been reported missing to Camden County Police, who returned him to a residential program, authorities noted in a statement. Police said Smalls might be found in Parkside or South Camden.

Jahmair Melville, 14, of West America Road in Fairview, is described as a five-foot-six, 119-pound, black male with black hair and brown eyes. He was last seen on January 17, wearing a gray hooded jacket and black Timberland boots.

Police said Melville has been known to frequent Oaklyn and Centerville.

Damion Bruce, 15
, of the 1000 block of Haddon Avenue in Parkside, is described as a five-foot-eleven-inch, 125-pound, black male with black hair and brown eyes. Bruce left home January 19, police said, and is believed to be in Lindenwold or Camden.

Bruce has been reported missing four times previously to Camden County police, who said they have connected with his 23-year-old older brother, Isaac, who "would not disclose their location."

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of these children is asked to call the Camden County Police tip line at
