Two young boys who were the subject of a brief Amber Alert overnight have been found safe.

La Ronge RCMP issued the alert shortly after midnight.

It was believed a ten-year-old boy and an eight-year-old had been taken away by an 18-year-old man.

The vehicle involved was located about an hour later at a home south of Prince Albert in St Louis.

Police say the man was taken into custody and the boys appeared to be unharmed.

The investigation continues.
