LANGLEY, B.C. — Mounties in Langley, B.C., say they are cancelling the Amber Alert issued for a four-month-old boy who was allegedly abducted by his mother on Thursday. 

Police say in a statement that the child was located and is safe and sound. 

The RCMP say they were notified by staff at Langley Memorial Hospital that the mother had shown up there with the child. 

When officers arrived, they confirmed both mother and her son were in good health. 

Police said earlier in the day that they were “deeply concerned” for the safety of the boy.
