JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (CBS) — A Florida Amber Alert was canceled Tuesday afternoon just hours after a 16-year-old was reported missing and possibly in danger.

Victims of a home invasion had seen him held a gunpoint, prompting the alert. But Marcus Hatch was found and is safe, the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office said.

Deputies met with Hatch to get more information.

Earlier, the men suspected of the home invasion were with Hatch, still at gunpoint, in a stolen 2009 gray Subaru Legacy with the Florida Air Force license plate “AKN6Z,” according to deputies.
