Montreal police say the missing child that triggered an Amber Alert has been found “safe and sound.”

Police posted the update early Wednesday morning on X, formerly known as Twitter.

The baby girl was reported missing around 9:25 a.m. Tuesday morning from her maternal grandparents’ home in the city’s Lachine district. She was found overnight Wednesday in the Saint-Laurent borough.

The grandparents of the baby girl noticed she was not in her room and that a window was open nearby.

Montreal police said the child was allegedly abducted by her mother, who did not reside at the grandparents’ home. Police say the mother was arrested, but it’s not yet known if charges will be laid.
