YORKTOWN, Texas (KXAN) — Two boys from Yorktown, Texas were found safe Wednesday after an Amber Alert was issued for them earlier in the morning, according to the DeWitt County Sheriff’s Office.

The boys were initially reported missing from Yorktown, which is in DeWitt County about 110 miles south of Austin.

Law enforcement officials originally reported they were searching for Julian Ribera, 24, in connection to their abduction, but it’s not clear if he is still at large or if police found him as well.

He’s described as a 5’11” Hispanic man, weighing 175 lbs, with brown hair and black eyes. Police said he was driving a black 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe with Texas license plate number FVK0342. He was last seen in San Antonio.
