An 8-year-old Tehama County boy, who was the subject of an Amber Alert after his alleged abduction by a non-custodial parent, was returned home safely Sunday after being located by an officer of the Susanville Police Department.
According to details provided by the SPD, the agency was contacted by a Tehama County Sheriff’s detective investigating the incident Sunday morning. Officers began searching for the abducted child and the non-custodial parent.
“The officer located the non-custodial parent at 14:45 hours and arrested him pursuant to an out-of-the-area arrest warrant,” explains SPD Sergeant Richard Warner. “The child was with the non-custodial parent and was unharmed.”
The child was taken into protective custody and later returned to Tehama County.
“The Susanville Police Department would like to thank the Lassen County Sheriff’s Office, California Highway Patrol, Lassen County Child Protective Services, and Walmart for assisting with this investigation and the child’s successful recovery.”
