Quebec provincial police have ended the Amber Alert issued earlier on Wednesday for a nine-year-old boy.

The Sûreté du Québec said at 5:45 p.m. that the child was found safe and sound in Montreal.

The alert, which was issued just before 5 p.m., had said that the child was abducted from the Montérégie region.

Police said their investigation continues and more details would be released at a later time.
