An Amber Alert issued Thursday evening for an eight-month-old boy last seen in Brampton was cancelled after the child was found safe and in good health, Peel Regional Police confirmed.
The suspect, 40-year-old Shahzaib Memon, who is believed to have taken the child, has since been arrested following a province-wide search. Police have also recovered the suspect vehicle.
Authorities said the baby was found “in good health” after he was abandoned by the suspect in the case.
It’s not clear where the baby boy was found.
Police confirmed that this was not a parental abduction, but the connection between the man and the baby boy is unknown.
The investigation is ongoing.
