The grandmother, who had custody of the children, told police that the girls' parents came over for a late-night visit. She said she went to sleep and woke up to find the girls missing.

Police and agents from the U.S. Marshals Service found the girls with their parents in West Palm Beach.

Christy Vigo Rezkala and Erlin Martinez were arrested and are awaiting extradition to Miami.

The children were not allowed to return to their grandmother because they were abducted from her home, officials said.
