An Amber Alert for a four-month-old boy allegedly abducted by his mother from Langley on Thursday night has been cancelled.

Langley RCMP said the child had been recovered and was safe.

Police were notified just before 5 p.m. that the child’s mother had taken him to Langley Memorial Hospital.

Earlier Friday, Langley RCMP held a press conference, saying police were “deeply concerned” for the boy’s safety.
