A 6-year-old kidnapping victim from Georgia was found safe and unharmed in New Jersey on Wednesday night, police said Thursday.

The Alpine Police Department responded to a home on Hemlock Drive around 8:48 p.m. after receiving a report for a kidnapping victim and a suspect, Alpine Police Chief Christopher Belcolle said in a statement.

When police arrived, they found the child “unharmed and safe” at the residence, Belcolle said.

The child’s father told the mother in June that he was taking the child to visit family in New Jersey — and then refused to return, the Daily Voice reported.

His mother contacted police to allege kidnapping, the paper said.

“The DeKalb County, Georgia Sheriffs Office has an active arrest warrant for the suspect in this case,” Belcolle confirmed in the statement.

The dad left the child with a relative shortly before 9 p.m. Wednesday and fled before police arrived. He was expected to surrender to authorities sometime Thursday, the Daily Voice said.

Earlier this summer, 5-year-old Amaya Blanton was reported missing from DeKalb County after her mom failed to return her to her grandmother, who has legal custody of the child, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

Blanton and her mother, 25-year-old Dimesha Davis, were found in Essex County, New Jersey, about 10 days after the child went missing.
