THE BRONX — A 20-year-old man and two girls — 10 and 15 — have been found after disappearing from a playground next to the girls' Mott Haven apartment building Sunday evening, cops said.

The trio, whom cops said were friends, had been playing in the Patterson Playground near East 145th St. and Morris Avenue when they all left the area about 6:30 p.m., according to the NYPD.

A police spokesman said they did not suspect criminality in the disappearance.

Alberto Correa, 20, who lives a block away from the playground, is 5-feet-3-inches tall, 109 pounds, was last seen riding an orange bicycle and wearing a white T-shirt, police said.

Chandler Roland, 10, who also lives near the playground, is 4-feet-11-inches tall, 70 pounds, and was last seen wearing a white T-shirt with pink sweat pants, cops said.

Amin Dawkins, 15, who lives on the same apartment building floor as Chandler, is 5-feet-5-inches tall, 110 pounds, and had been wearing a red T-shirt, blue jeans, and black sneakers, cops said.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS (8477).
