AMBER Alert canceled, 3-year-old boy found safe
LAKEVILLE, Minn. -- An AMBER Alert has been canceled for a 3-year-old boy who was taken from his Lakeville home on Friday. Authorities say he has been found safe.
The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension said the boy's father reported him missing from his apartment on Friday morning. Authorities believed he was with a family member, and there was concern that he was not being adequately cared for.
Lakeville Police Chief Brad Paulson said they're still following up on the details, but added the boy is believed to be with his mother. It is too early at this point, he said, to determine if there will be any criminal charges.
The child that was the subject of the AMBER Alert has been found safe. Thank you to all who helped search for him. More information to come from Lakeville Police Department.
