Both prisoners who escaped Abraxas Academy in Berks County in custody, police say
BUCKS COUNTY, Pa. (CBS) -- Both of the prisoners who escaped from Abraxas Academy in Berks County over the weekend are back in custody, police said.
The 16-year-old who escaped from the youth detention facility was taken into custody Wednesday evening by the Falls Township Police Department, Pennsylvania State Police said. He was inside a stolen car at the time, according to police.
Tyler Lutz, 18, was taken into custody in Bucks County Monday night, the Caernarvon Township Police Department said. Pennsylvania State Police said Lutz will be charged with escape in Berks County.
Before the escape, police said Lutz and the 16-year-old were last seen at the detention center Saturday around 4 p.m. Authorities didn't specify why the two males were at Abraxas but said they were able to break out of the facility by climbing over a fence.
Pennsylvania State Police are handling the investigation into the escape.
Last year in September, nine juveniles escaped from Abraxas following a riot, but they were taken back into custody one day later.
