An Amber Alert issued Thursday in Minnesota, for a 2-year-old boy who authorities said may have been abducted, was canceled early Friday after the child was found safe.

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension said a suspect had been arrested, but offered no further details in its cancellation of the Amber Alert for the child just after 1:30 a.m. Friday — about nine hours after it was issued.

The BCA said the Pope County Sheriff’s Office would be releasing more information later in the day.

The boy had been reported missing early Thursday morning near Westport, Minn. — a small community between Glenwood and Sauk Centre.

The BCA and sheriff’s office had said in the Amber Alert that investigators “developed information throughout the day” that led them to believe he had been abducted.
