An Amber alert for a 6-year-old girl has been canceled after the young girl was found, according to Aurora police.
Police have taken a suspect into custody with the help of the Larimer County Sheriff’s Office.
The Colorado Bureau of Investigation issued the alert Sunday night at about 10:26 p.m., asking people to be on the lookout for a Black girl with black braided hair and brown eyes who was last known to be wearing a rainbow jacket.
The alert stated that she was last seen in a stolen 2015 White Jeep Compass with a broken passenger tail light, and that the suspect is a man. Aurora police issued a surveillance photo of the man near the vehicle, which police said was stolen from a gas station at Iliff Avenue and Havana Street.
The young girl was located not long after the Colorado Bureau of Investigation issued the alert, and the agency announced at about 10:34 p.m. that she was found safe.
Police used cell phone tracking to help locate the girl because her mother’s phone was still in the vehicle when it was stolen, said Aurora police spokesperson Matthew Longshore.
