The mother of three children found abandoned in a shed in Portland, Oregon on Thursday has been located, police said Friday.
"We thank everyone who helped with information," the department said in a statement. "We do not need any additional tips. There will be no more details released about this case as it is still under investigation."
The oldest of the kids, a boy, is approximately 3 years old. A girl, about 2, and an infant girl, believed to be somewhere between 8 and 15 months, were found with the boy Thursday morning, authorities said.
Around 9:30 a.m., a man called 911 to report hearing children's voices from a shed behind his house in Southeast Portland. The shed was on the property of a vacant residence, police said in a statement.
Officers said there were homeless people "on the premises" who told them the children were abandoned there the night before by a woman they believed to be their mother.
