Just after 11 p.m. on Monday, Montreal police say a 16-year-old girl was allegedly forced into a vehicle from her place of work at a restaurant in Kirkland, Que, a suburb in western Montreal.

Fearing for the girl’s safety, major-crimes investigators elected to issue an Amber Alert early Tuesday.

The teen showed up at a Montreal police station not long after the alert was sent.

All three accused remain detained and will return to court on Thursday.
