MILWAUKEE — Five people have been arrested in connection to Wednesday's Amber Alert in Milwaukee.
An alert for a missing 1-year-old Milwaukee girl has since been canceled after she was found safe.
Police say a 48-year-old woman, a 29-year-old man, two 25-year-old women, and an 18-year-old man were arrested. Criminal charges will be referred to the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office.
The Milwaukee Police Department issued the alert earlier in the day after she was last seen near 50th and Meinecke. Police said it was possible she was with a 29-year-old man from Milwaukee.
It is not yet known where the baby was found.
According to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children's website, "AMBER Alerts are activated in the most serious child-abduction cases. The goal of an AMBER Alert is to instantly galvanize the community to assist in the search for and safe recovery of a missing child. These alerts are broadcast through radio, TV, road signs, cellphones, and other data-enabled devices. The AMBER Alert system is being used in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Indian country, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and 27 other countries."
