(CBS DETROIT) - A 20-year-old woman is in custody after two children were found near the dumpsters at a high school in Madison Heights on Saturday.

At about 1 p.m. on Saturday, July 15, Madison Heights officers were dispatched to Lamphere High School after reports of two kids alone in car seats near the dumpsters. When they arrived, they discovered a 2-year-old and a 4-week-old. 

The infant and the toddler were taken to a local hospital and were reported to be in stable condition. 

Authorities identified the parents, and a 20-year-old woman was taken into custody. In addition, Child Protective Services was notified. There does not appear to be a connection between the individuals and Lamphere High School.

The investigation is ongoing. 

Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Sergeant Hartunian at 248-837-2737.
