HOUSTON -- A Tomball man was arrested and placed behind bars Wednesday night after police found two Florida teenage girls inside his home.

Bernard Capuli, 27, stands accused of luring a 14- and 15-year-old girl to run away from their Florida home earlier this week.

Authorities told News2Houston Capuli arranged to pick up the girls from Hobby Airport. The girls reportedly flew to Houston from Tampa, Fla.

Officials said Capuli met the teens in an Internet chat room.

Police in Tampa notified northwest Harris County authorities; cell phone records pinpointed the girls' location.

When Harris County officials showed up at Capuli's home, he said he had not talked with the girls in two weeks.

"While we were there, we were hearing some noises in the background. (As we ) investigated that, we found (the girls) hiding underneath the bed," Harris County Precinct 4 Constable's Office Lt. Brian Magee said.

Capuli was arrested and charged with harboring a runaway and officials are investigating to see if he had a sexual relationship with the teens.

The girls were placed in the custody of Harris County officials until their parents could pick them up.

Detectives are warning parents to keep a close eye on their children's Internet activity.

"(The Internet) is a tool our society has come to depend on, but because it is, in my opinion, a wide open market, it's got to be controlled, it's got to be monitored," Magee said.

The FBI is also investigating the incident, since the teens crossed state lines.
