DETROIT (WWJ) - An Amber Alert has been cancelled for two young brothers who were taken from their home in the area of 25th Street, near Vernor Highway in Detroit.

The pair were found late this afternoon, apparently at the home of a female acquaintance of the father.

Rayshawn is described as a black male, 3.5 feet, 45 pounds with brown eyes and black hair. He has a rash on the top of his head and has double lines near his hair line as part of a hair style. Rayshawn last seeing wearing a one piece Mickey Mouse Outfit.

The children were last seen in the family home in southwest Detroit around 1:00 am Friday, and are believed to be in extreme danger.

Edwards said he put the boys to bed around 10:30 pm Thursday before he fell asleep while watching a movie with his new girlfriend Brianna Walker, whom he recently met online. When Edwards woke up around 1:30 am, both his sons and Walker were gone.
