An Amber Alert issued by Montreal police for six-year-old twin sisters has been lifted after the girls were found safe.

Police say the girls were found in the Saint-Alexis-des-Monts area, about 140 kilometres north of Montreal.

Police also say they found the girls’ mother and that everyone was safe and sound.

Police believe it may have been a kidnapping but say the investigation continues.

The alert was issued after the girls were taken in the mid-afternoon.

Police say investigators will speak with the mother and the girls to determine exactly what happened.
