Three teens who escaped from the Prince Albert Youth Residence last week are back in custody.

The three were reported missing shortly after 9 p.m. on Thursday.

The three were facing what the Justice Ministry called serious charges and members of the public were advised not to approach them.

Officials with corrections and policing obtained a court order to allow the release of names, photos and other identifying information.

The three 17-year-olds are now back in custody.

No other information on the escape has been released.
