According to scanner reports, the black Nissan Altima the suspects were driving was spotted along Route 1 in Lower Bucks County. State troopers were finally able to stop the vehicle where Route 1 meets the I-76 (Schuylkill Expressway) in Philadelphia shortly before 8 a.m.

Video from CBS 3 shows the two suspects being lead into waiting state police cruisers.

Lancaster police say the children were abducted at gunpoint from a home following an altercation Thursday night. New Jersey State police reported shortly before Lower Bucks County sighting that suspect vehicle was spotted in Vineland, N.J.
