An Amber Alert was issued today for two Tampa-area boys — Cole and Chase Hakken — after they were abducted by their "anti-government" parents, deputies say.

Joshua Hakken, 35, entered a home in the 14000 block of Shady Shores Drive owned by Patricia Hauser, maternal grandmother of the boys, at about 6:30 a.m. today, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office said.

Hakken tied up Hauser, took the boys — Cole, 4, and Chase, 2 — and fled in Hauser's 2009 Silver Toyota Camry.
