Deputies responded and discovered a deceased female and male, who both appear to be teenagers.

Detectives are investigating, but the sheriff's office said they are confident there is no danger to the community.

“I was actually down there yesterday on the golf cart just tooling around … and there was nothing down there then,” said Tom Hannah, who lives nearby.

Hannah and other neighbors say this is abnormal for the area, and they're concerned about the manner of deaths.

The sheriff's office said there is no connection between this incident and a reported incident in Bedford Township from June 14.

Deputies will release more information when it becomes available.
