LAKE LOS ANGELES – Four children under age 5 were removed from a filthy Lake Los Angeles home on Saturday and their father was arrested on suspicion of child endangerment, authorities said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Alejandro Vargas<\/strong>, 31, was arrested around 10:10 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 10, after deputies responded to a residence at 39304 167th Street East, according to a news release from the Lancaster Sheriff\u2019s Station<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Deputies were called to the home after a passerby spotted a partially clothed 2-month-old girl in a car seat in the front yard, sheriff\u2019s officials said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe passerby attempted to contact the parents at the location for a least 20 minutes. Due to the very cold temperatures, the passerby covered the infant in a blanket and took the infant to a nearby residence,\u201d the news release states.<\/span><\/p>\n

When deputies arrived, they found three other children — ages 1, 3, and 4 — \u00a0inside the home, according to the news release.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe deputies at the scene saw a large infestation of cockroaches throughout the residence. Animal feces was also seen on the floor in several of the rooms,\u201d the news release states.<\/span><\/p>\n

The children were transported to Lancaster Sheriff\u2019s Station, and the Department of Child Services ultimately took custody of the children. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Vargas was detained inside the residence and then transported to Lancaster Sheriff\u2019s Station, where he was booked in lieu of $100,000 bail.<\/span><\/p>\n
