Men linked to Thursday’s Amber Alert taken into custody

Edmonton police say two men who are believed to be involved in an Amber Alert last week have been taken into custody.

Police say last Thursday an Amber Alert was issued for a blind and non-verbal woman who was left in a car that was stolen after her caregiver went into a store to make a purchase.

The vehicle was recovered by an off-duty RCMP officer in Fort Saskatchewan not long after it was taken, police say. The woman was found safe inside the vehicle.

Police say more details of the investigation will be provided later this week, once charges are laid.
