Prince William County police have arrested a couple after officers found their young children in their Manassas house alone. Officers had to force their way into the house by removing boards that had been nailed on the doors.

Twenty-three-year-old Irma Hernandez Cruz and 29-year-old Evelio Hernandez Cruz are charged with two counts of felony child abuse/neglect. They are being held on $5,000 bond.

Police went to the 10800 block of Felicia Court about 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday because of a parking complaint. In trying to contact the owner of a vehicle, officers found two boys, ages four and five, who were left in a bedroom by themselves.

The boys were turned over to Child Protective Services.
