Alberta children who were subject of Amber Alert found safe in B.C.
"They were located on a rural property in West Kelowna," Staff/Sgt. Derrick Gladdish with the Alberta RCMP Major Crimes Unit said on Friday.
Two children from Alberta were the subjects of an Amber Alert in British Columbia in July and have been found safe. Alberta RCMP announced on Friday that the boys were located on a rural property in West Kelowna on Thursday. Staff/Sgt. Derrick Gladdish of the Alberta RCMP Major Crimes Unit reported that the children were found to be in good health and appeared to be happy.
They were not showing any signs of distress when apprehended. The Amber Alert was issued in early July following reports that the boys had been taken from Valhalla Centre, a hamlet about 63 kilometers northwest of Grande Prairie, Alberta. Other provinces, including British Columbia and the Northwest Territories, issued Amber Alerts but later cancelled them as authorities continued their investigation.
Two individuals have been arrested on warrants for violating a custody order. The children will be handed over to Alberta Children and Family Services.
