Two young children who had been the subject of an Amber Alert Sunday morning have been found, according to authorities in Quebec.

The alert was issued just before 4:30 a.m. by the Sûreté du Québec (SQ) who said the boys, aged 2 and 4, had been abducted from Trois-Rivieres, northeast of Montreal, on Saturday night by a 29-year-old woman.

The alert was cancelled shortly after 8 a.m. when police announced the children had been found “safe and sound” in St-Paulin, in the Mauricie region.

No further details were provided.
