LIVONIA, Mich. – An Amber Alert was issued early Monday morning after two infant twin boys were abducted out of Livonia by “two females.” The alert was canceled a few hours later after the children were found safe.

At 5:54 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 21, an Amber Alert notification was issued in Southeast Michigan. Police later said that two 14-day-old twin boys were missing and endangered.

The babies were reportedly abducted in Livonia by “two females” whose identities were not immediately known. The suspects were driving a black Jeep Grand Cherokee, according to police.

As of 10:15 a.m. the same day, Detroit police said the children were found. Police did not offer any additional information.

Information identifying the children and the suspects has since been removed from this article. It is unknown if charges will be brought against the suspects, but if they are, their photos will be available at that time.

It is believed, but not confirmed, that the children were taken from a Quality Inn hotel on Plymouth Road, between Merriman and Middlebelt roads, where the suspects’ vehicle was last seen. Authorities had not shared the circumstances surrounding the abduction as of Monday morning.
