Six-year-old Kenton Murphy, the subject of an Amber Alert issued Tuesday, was found safe, police say.
Murphy and his mother, the suspect, were found in Whitney, N.B., about 21 kilometres from where they were last seen. Sgt. Lorri McEachern with the Miramichi Police Department said the two were found on foot near the 2008 black Nissan Xterra Ashley Munn was driving.
“Everybody is safe,” McEachern said.
RCMP said Munn, the child’s mother, has been taken into custody.
Late Tuesday morning, RCMP said Munn could be armed, and said they located the SUV but not the mother and child.
“Police have received information that Ashley Munn may be armed. If seen, do not approach and call 911,” RCMP said in a tweet.
