Two siblings, ages 11 and 7 were reported missing from the scene of a homicide and were believed to have been taken by their father. An AMBER Alert was quickly issued. A Quincy police officer who had received the information about the AMBER Alert on the mobile unit in his car observed the vehicle in question. He followed it into a convenience store parking lot where he was able to apprehend the suspect without incident. The children were rescued unharmed and the suspect was taken into custody.
