CENTREVILLE, Mich. — Two young girls have been found safe after being reported missing out of Centreville on Thursday.

The St. Joseph County Sheriff's Office adds their mother is in custody.

We're told the children were found at an apartment complex off Stadium Drive in Kalamazoo and have since been handed over to DHS.

The girls, aged 6 and 11, disappeared from the yard of their foster parents Thursday afternoon around 12:30 pm.

Recently, mother Samantha Hope Prewitt threatened to take the children as they played outside. MSP says that Prewitt lost rights to the girls.
