The owner of a fishing lodge is raising questions over how five teenagers allegedly used his facilities while stranded.

Kelly Littlechilds owns Arctic Lodge on Reindeer Lake's Dewdney Island, where the group reportedly stayed after having boat troubles while on a hunting trip.

He said a number of the lodge's buildings were broken into.

"To be breaking in, making a mess, pulling quads out, breaking locks on doors, there's a lot of things that kind of throw questions, so it's kind of something that the RCMP should be questioning the kids about," said Littlechilds.

The owner said all the buildings were broken into, including personal cabins, a washroom facility, gas houses, boat houses and a shed holding quads. According to Littlechilds, all the locked doors were kicked in, messes were made and quads were pulled out.

Littlechilds said he's been told gas, chainsaws, fishing gear, clothing and bedding are missing from the lodge.

"It (could have) been for survival, but a lot of those things, it's hard to say that they would do stuff like that for survival," said Littlechilds, who added many of the cabins with food are left unlocked.

He says the RCMP told him the teens were spotted on Saturday going into the lodge. But when some people were sent to check it out, the teenagers were gone

He doesn't believe any boats were taken, but one of the teenagers' grandfather said one boat from the lodge was used.

"They took the one boat from the lodge for safety reasons, because their motor was not operating 100 per cent," said Clayton Morin.

Littlechilds isn't jumping to conclusions though. He says his first concern was the safety of the stranded teens, who were rescued Monday afternoon after being spotted by a plane.

The fishing lodge has operated on Reindeer Lake for more than 60 years. Littlechilds said he needs to find out exactly what happened before even thinking of pressing charges.
