(Oklahoma City-AP) -- Four children were hospitalized in Oklahoma City after being found in a home with a methamphetamine lab.

Officials say 2- and 4-year old boys and 3- and 14-year-old girls suffered breathing problems because of fumes from the meth lab. The children are now in protective custody.

Oklahoma County sheriff's deputies discovered the lab yesterday when they went to the home in south Oklahoma City to talk to the residents about the recent break-up of a theft ring.

Five adults in the home were arrested. Christopher Thomas, Pamela Thomas, Catherine Hill, Eddie Joe Smith and Sammy Lee Smith are being held on complaints of manufacturing meth.
