Missing downstate children found

URBANA -- Police in Central Illinois say they've found two small children who they believed were taken by their grandfather.

Authorities canceled an Amber Alert for five-year-old Nariah Harris and four-year-old Tyshawnn Harris Monday morning, several hours after issuing the alert.

University of Illinois police say the two were found safe.

Investigators say the children's grandfather is 42-year-old Adell Johnson and the trio were believed to be in a 2008 silver Ford Escape.

Police say Johnson made comments that lead them to believe the children could be in danger.
