Two women face charges for endangering the welfare of children after an incident in Manheim Township last week.
On Saturday evening, police responded to a parking lot on Fruitville Pike for the report of a woman using drugs while there were kids in the car.
An officer walked up to the car and watched Madie Fritz, 25 of Washington Boro use a hypodermic needle to inject something into her arm while two young children slept in the backseat.
The mother of the children, Beth Biagio, 24 of Lancaster, was inside a nearby store. She was located and brought to the vehicle.
Police found a diaper bag inside the car which contained needles, heroin packets and other drug paraphernalia.
Biagio, who was the driver, was charged with endangering the welfare of children and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Fritz was also charged with endangering the welfare of children and possession of drug paraphernalia.
The children have been turned over to a family member.
