Police: Child Not Abducted In Minneapolis

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Minneapolis Police say reports of a possible child abduction have been unfounded. The child was picked up and carried into the school by her father, according to officials.

Authorities say the girl was supposed to start at a new school but didn't want to go so her dad had to pick her up and carry her in.

Police were investigating the possible abduction near 57th Street and 24th Avenue South, near Lake Nokomis. A K9 unit was also called in to track the area.

Police checked the nearby schools and found that none of the children were missing or unaccounted for.
