Two brothers were allegedly abducted by two male suspects in Fayetteville, North Carolina late Monday night, according to police.
The two boys aged six and nine were playing outside of their home when two men in a red, four-door pickup truck pulled up and kidnapped them, WRAL reported.
The boys “were playing outside of their residence along the 5600 block of Monks Walk Court when the suspects pulled up in front of their residence and abducted the juveniles.

The juveniles were unharmed and transported home by officers,” according to a Fayetteville Police Department press release.
