Amber Alert Canceled for Two Boys From Brunswick County
Authorities say the boys are believed to be with their father, who is accused of violating a custody order.
On Friday, the Brunswick County Sheriff's Office canceled the Amber Alert after 11-year-old Wyatt Wilcox and 9-year-old Chance Wilcox were located safely.
Authorities issued the alert after the boys were last seen Thursday in the Oak Island/Supply area with their father, Brandon Wilcox, who allegedly violated a court-issued non-secure custody order.
Prior to the recovery, officials had unsuccessfully searched a residence on SE Frying Pan Road in Supply for 35-year-old Brandon Mark Wilcox and the two children.
Following the safe recovery, the Brunswick County Sheriff's Office confirmed that Brandon Wilcox is in law enforcement custody and faces pending charges.
Contact with DSS had initially prompted the statewide alert due to concerns regarding the children's welfare and safety, leading to immediate law enforcement involvement.
