A statewide Amber Alert has been issued for two Federal Heights children who have been missing since 2:30 p.m. Thursday.
Celena Romero, 11, and Charlie Romero, 7, both disappeared from a bus stop in 9400 block of Elm Court in Federal Heights, according to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation.
Authorities think they were taken by their biological mother, Tammy Rees-Romero, and her boyfriend, Jacob Lake-Sahm.

Police said she wears heavy makeup and appears to be 18 to 19 years old.
Charlie is 4 feet, 3 inches tall, 50 pounds, and wears his blonde hair shaved into a Mohawk. He was wearing a Denver Broncos jacket and jeans.
He is “very timid and shy,” according to the CBI.
Tammy Anne Rees-Romero is 35 years old, 5 feet, 3 inches tall and 140 pounds. She has red, shoulder-length hair.
Her boyfriend, Jacob Lawrence Lake-Sahm, 22, is 5 feet, 9 inches tall and weighs 130 pounds. He has short brown hair and a short beard.
They are driving a 1997 maroon Mercury sedan with Colorado license plate number 618-SZM.
