Story highlights Bodies of boy and girl found in Detroit freezer

Bailiff performing an eviction makes the initial discovery

Mom arrested on child abuse charges, pending results from medical examiner

(CNN) Police in Detroit made a gruesome discovery Tuesday.

A bailiff performing an eviction on a home on the east side of Detroit called 911 after discovering the body of a female child inside a freezer. While investigating the body, authorities found a second body, a male, according to a release from the Detroit Police Department.

A baliff serving an eviction made the initial discovery of two bodies found in a freezer.

Both bodies were inside a plastic bag, Detroit Police Chief James Craig said.

There are tentative plans to begin the autopsy tomorrow said Ryan Bridges, spokesman for the Wayne County Medical Examiner's Office. He added that the office was waiting to allow the bodies to thaw naturally in order to preserve forensic evidence.

The mother of the children was apprehended at a separate location, and was later arrested on child abuse charges, pending the "results of the medical examiner's report," a release from the police department said. Police have not yet released her name.
