Two people are in custody in relation to the Amber Alert in Edmonton last week.
The alert was issued at 8:27pm on Thursday, October 19th after a 40 year old non-verbal woman was taken in a minivan near 118 Ave and 91 Street an hour prior.
Police say the woman’s caregiver left the woman inside the van while they briefly went into a store, two suspects then stole the vehicle and fled northeast.
30 minutes after the Amber Alert was issued, the woman was found unharmed in Fort Saskatchewan. Police were searching for two male suspects in connection with the alert.
On Monday, the Edmonton Police Service announced the males had been found and arrested over the weekend, and charges are pending. Once the charges are formally sworn, the name of the suspects will be released.
