Investigators from the major crime unit later announced she was found “safe and sound at a home nearby. The girl was not harmed or injured during the time she was missing from her Tremblay Rd. area home.”

On Sunday evening police announced that a man and woman unrelated to the girl’s family have been charged with abduction of a child under the age of 14. Both of the accused were released on a promise to appear in court later.

Investigators were not available Sunday evening and there were no further details available, but police added they don’t believe there is any danger to the public.
