Winnipeg police say a mom accused of parental abduction and wanted on a Canada-wide warrant has been located with her 12-year-old son.

Police said the pair were found safe in Manitoba on Sunday.

On Saturday afternoon, police issued a missing persons alert for the woman and her son, saying they were concerned for their well-being.

The pair had last been seen in the St James area on Saturday morning.

Later that evening, police issued the warrant for the mother saying the case was a potential parental abduction.

Due to the sensitive nature of this incident, CTV News is no longer naming the family involved.

On Monday, police said the woman had been charged with abduction and remanded into custody.
