SOUTHEND -- Police say they are charging five teens who were missing for several days in northern Saskatchewan last month before they were rescued.

The teens, who are between 13 and 17, had failed to return on time from a moose-hunting trip.

Low temperatures and poor weather conditions hampered search operations, but the youth were spotted at a remote private fishing lodge on an island in Reindeer Lake.

Searchers rescued four boys and one girl and returned them to their homes in Southend.

The owner of the wilderness lodge later reported property damage and filed a complaint with the RCMP.

The teens are charged with breaking and entering, and are expected to appear in court on Jan. 29.

They cannot be identified because of their ages.
