Three passengers buses reportedly were hijacked Saturday in the San Fernando area of Tamaulipas, but authorities later found everyone safe.
The buses, loaded with passengers, reportedly were hijacked and held for three hours.

According to sources outside of law enforcement, the buses had left Matamoros on their way to Tampico when they were hijacked by gunmen in the San Fernando area, approximately 80 miles south of Brownsville.
The buses were found in a desolate brushy area shortly before 8 p.m. near the town of Soto La Marina, approximately 180 miles from Brownsville.
Mexican federal police and the military were assisting the shaken passengers as they helped them continue their trip.
