LANCASTER, Pa. (AP) — Two young children were found safe Friday after they were taken from a central Pennsylvania home by two suspects who were taken into custody, police said.
State police said the 3-year-old girl and 4-year-old boy were taken by two men at gunpoint after an altercation at a Lancaster home at about 7:30 p.m. Thursday, triggering an Amber Alert.
Police said the abductors fled in a black vehicle and could be traveling to Massachusetts but said later that the vehicle was believed to be returning to the commonwealth from New Jersey.
Authorities said the vehicle being sought was stopped at about 7:30 a.m. Friday on Interstate 76 in Philadelphia and two men, ages 23 and 47, were arrested without incident.
‘‘The two children were asleep in the back seat in good health,’’ police said in a statement.
