WINNIPEG – Winnipeg police say two women have been charged after a two-year-old boy was taken from a home and found hours later by a citizen who recognized the trio from an Amber Alert.
Police say the women took the toddler from his biological mother’s home in the south end of the city Friday around 10 a.m. after assaulting the mother, who they knew, with a weapon.
About three hours later, police say an Amber Alert was issued for the boy.
The two women and the toddler were later recognized by a citizen as they exited a taxi in the city’s north end.
Police say the citizen took the child, who was uninjured, away from the women and waited for officers to arrive.
Police say the two women, who are ages 30 and 25, are facing multiple charges related to abduction and assault, and the 25-year-old woman is facing an additional charge after she was found in possession of methamphetamine.
