CASTAIC, Calif. (CBS) ― Ten children were in protective custody Friday after four adults were arrested in Castaic on suspicion of possessing methamphetamine and other offenses, according to the sheriff's department.

The arrests were made Thursday at homes in the 27500 block of Violin Canyon Road and the 31400 block of Arrow Point Drive.

Rafael Arciniega, 46, of Castaic, and James Sterns, 49, of Frazier Park in Kern County, were booked on suspicion of possessing methamphetamine for sale and jailed on $30,000 bail.
