A woman noticed the children, ages 7 and 5, alone in the vehicle near a grocery store on Cochran Road and called police. When officers arrived, the 7-year-old was still in the car and the 5-year-old was found wandering around the parking lot, police said.

The father, 44-year-old David Schraven, told police he was only in the store for a few minutes, but police said the children told them it was a lot longer.
