The Edmonton Police Service has cancelled an Amber Alert after a two-year-old girl was located safe.
Police said the alert, issued at 4:57 p.m. Saturday, was cancelled at 5:32 p.m.
In the cancellation advisory, officials said: “The Edmonton Police Service is cancelling an Amber Alert. The child has been located.”
In a news release later in the evening, EPS said: “Upon further investigation, police believe that the incident is non-criminal. As such, there are no charges pending against the adult male.”
The release said the Amber Alert was issued after a report that an adult male had left the area of 106 Street and 31 Avenue around 4 p.m. with the child in a 2018 Toyota Tundra. Police said initial information led them to believe the child may have been in danger.
“The Edmonton Police Service takes all necessary precautions and treats every situation seriously,” the release said. “The EPS would like to thank the media and the public for their concern and for their effort in locating this child.”
The original Amber Alert stated: “At 4 p.m., Leonard Willier took two-year-old Aurora Alexis from the area of 106 Street and 31 Avenue and fled in a 2018 white Toyota Tundra with Saskatchewan plate 786 JBH. There may be additional occupants in the vehicle.
“Willier is described as 6 foot with a stalky build. Aurora has brown hair and brown eyes.”
The alert is no longer in effect for Alberta.
