For the second time in two weeks, Pennsylvania police conducted a major manhunt for escaped inmates. This time, it was a group of teens who fled a detention center after overtaking two female guards.

Some of the teens turned themselves in because they were cold, police said

An estimated 60 authorities were called in for an overnight search conducted with drones and K-9 units, said State Police Trooper David Beohm. Four of the teens were taken into custody Monday morning at 5:47 a.m., roughly 4.5 miles from the detention center. Trooper Beohm said they knocked on a homeowner's door and turned themselves in."They basically gave up because they were tired, they were cold," he said, adding that they had only slide shoes as footwear."Those woods are a far cry from the streets of Harrisburg or Philly.
