PHOENIX — An Amber Alert was issued Friday after two children were abducted in Tucson by their parents, who tased and duct-taped a case aide during a supervised visit.

On Saturday afternoon, the car was located in Nogales, Arizona, near the Mexico border but the parents and children were not found.
