An Amber Alert for three kids believed to have been abducted from their home in Fox Creek was cancelled Saturday morning after police discovered the trio and their mother near Sylvan Lake.

Alberta RCMP say at approximately 1:30 a.m., a four-year-old, three-year-old, and nine-month-old were taken from their home.

The Amber Alert was issued just before 5 a.m, and cancelled at 7:40 a.m. when Sylvan Lake RCMP attended to a vehicle on the roadside of Hwy 20 north of town where the mother and three kids were located.

The children were unharmed, but were taken to hospital as a precaution.
