State Police issued two separate silver alerts for missing siblings from two families overnight and have since found siblings from both families reported missing .
Police said they have located Ariana Sturz, 5, and Savannah Sturz, 3, two sisters from Torrington who had been missing since 10 a.m. on Thursday. The girls were found with their aunt, Jennifer Wheeler, in Torrington.
According to police, Wheeler took the girls to a friend's house in Waterbury where she ingested cocaine to the point where she could not drive. Wheeler spent the night with the girls at the home in Waterbury before returning to Torrington with the children on Friday morning.
Wheeler was arrested and faces risk of injury, reckless endangerment and drug charges.
The two girls were not injured, police said.
State Police also issued a silver alert for Karen Dubrosky, a 36 year-old Watertown mother and her three children. At 8:30 a.m., police said they had a lead on where the mother and three children could be and they cancelled the alert just before noon when Watertown detectives learned that Dubrosky sought help to obtain placement at a safe house shelter.
Owen Brown, 6, Andrew Brown, 5, and Noelle Brown, 3, had been missing since around 11 a.m. on Thursday after Dubrosky signed the children out of school.

Dubrosky's common-law husband called police when he returned home from work early on Thursday and his family was not home.
