Codiac RCMP say the two children who had been the subject of an Amber Alert Tuesday night have been found.

They were last seen at 11:45 Tuesday morning in Napan, N.B., and New Brunswick RCMP put out an Amber Alert at 10:19 p.m. By 10:45 p.m., they had sent out a tweet saying the three-year-old girl and two-year-old boy had been found.

New Brunswick RCMP say they received a call at 6:30 Tuesday night that a 54-year-old woman hadn't returned home with the two children in her care. Police wouldn't comment on how she knew the children.

But RCMP say just moments after the alert was sent out, a person in Woodstock contacted them with a possible sighting of the vehicle.

"Around 10:30 p.m., members of the Woodstock Police Force located the vehicle that was pulled over on the side of the west-bound lane of the Trans-Canada Highway in Jacksonville," said Sgt. Nick Arbour, a spokesperson for the New Brunswick RCMP.
