The RCMP in Saskatchewan was close to activating the Amber Alert system Tuesday night.
Officers from the Unity RCMP detachment were called to a residence in Unity Tuesday at 5 p.m. for a complaint of an assault and possible parental abduction.
Police arrived on the scene in minutes, gathered initial details and learned three children had been taken by their father from their mother’s residence.
During the course of the investigation, it was determined the incident qualified as an Amber Alert and the process for issuing an Amber Alert was initiated.
Over the course of the evening, the investigators determined a possible location of the father. He was located near Kyle; however, the three children were not with the father. The children were located safe and sound a short time later at a residence in Maidstone.
This investigation is ongoing. Further details will be released when available.
