ALEXANDRIA (AP) — Minnesota authorities say they have located two teen-aged sisters from Lakeville who have been missing for more than two years.

A lieutenant from the suburban police department says the girls were found Wednesday at a horse ranch in Alexandria.

Gianna and Samantha Rucki, now 16 and 17 years old respectively, hadn't been seen in public since April 2013 after disappearing in a custody dispute. The girls' mother, Sandra Grazzini-Rucki, was arrested last month in Florida but has declined to provide information on their whereabouts to investigators.

Grazzini-Rucki is in the Dakota County jail after her arrest on charges of felony deprivation of parental rights.

In November 2013, a Dakota County judge granted David Rucki full custody of his children.
