A MICHIGAN teenager could face trespassing charges after he was found living in the bedding section of a Bed Bath & Beyond store for four days, The Detroit News reports.

The boy's mother reported him missing to police Sunday in the town of Rosewell, in east Michigan. On Thursday morning, workers at the household retail store called police after they discovered the boy living at the store.

"Employees found him near the bedding section of the store," Roseville Deputy Police Chief Anthony Cona said.

"He had some snacks with him. We don't know if he got them from inside the store or brought them from somewhere else."

The boy would hide in the store before it closed and would leave in the morning at its opening, police said.

The teen, who has not been identified because he is a minor, has previously run away from his home a couple of times but it was not known how long he was gone, police said.

"There could be trespassing or larceny charges at some point," said Officer Cona.

"But our main concern right now is the problems he has had with running away and getting him taken care of."
