SAMPSON COUNTY, N.C. — A 10-year-old Sampson County girl who was the subject of an abduction and an Amber Alert on Tuesday has been found safe.

Breanne Marie Jones was found with her father, who was accused of abducting her. Witnesses spotted them running into the woods, which led to a search. They were found shortly after.

Police said the two alleged abductors, Jonathan Lewis Jones, 38, and Christina Renee Edge, 32, are in custody.
