Authorities arrested five suspects accused of keeping a naked toddler in a cage "secured with a padlock," according to police.

Brenda Chilton, 71, William Mahoney, 72, Codey Johnson, 29, Tammy Simmons, 52, and Shelby Turocy, 28, were arrested at a Carrollton, Kentucky, home Monday.

The suspects are each accused of criminal abuse and wanton endangerment – both first-degree charges – after officers responding to a tip discovered a naked child "under the age of 3 that was locked behind a wooden and metal enclosure that was secured with a padlock," said police.

An arrest citation indicated that the floor within the caged area was littered with urine and feces.

Turocy also faces a slew of drug allegations.

Two children were removed from the home as a result.

It's unclear how the suspects are related to the victim.

The investigations continue.
