Provincial police say a woman was charged in a child abduction investigation Monday after she allegedly tried to leave the country with her young child from Toronto’s Pearson airport.

Lanark County OPP say officers began investigating when a Beckwith Township resident reported that his wife might be attempting to leave Canada with their six-year-old son.

Police say with help from Peel regional police and the Canada Border Services Agency, they were able to find the woman and child at Pearson airport.
