SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Police say they've found three boys who ran away from a wilderness therapy camp for troubled teens.

Authorities in Beaver County say a rancher found two of the teens aged 14 and 15 in a cabin Tuesday morning, about a day after they ran away from a remote campsite run by the program RedCliff Ascent.

The Salt Lake Tribune reports (http://bit.ly/28QDh3k ) that authorities say the older boy also tried to run away about a week ago.

The pair had left behind the third boy when he got tired. Authorities found the 15-year-old a few hours after the first two.

The teens are expected to go back to the program, though officials say they'll keep a close eye on them.

Beaver County is about 250 mile southwest of Salt Lake City.
