Police have arrested a man in connection with the abduction of an eight-year-old girl in Prince Albert that caused an Amber Alert to be issued on Tuesday.
Prince Albert Police notified the public that Jarrod John Charles, 19, had been arrested shortly before 11:30 p.m.
Charles is accused of abducting the girl from a Prince Albert playground on Tuesday afternoon. An Amber Alert was issued around 8:00 p.m., and the girl was found safe around 8:40 p.m.
This is not the first time Charles has been charged in connection with an Amber Alert in Saskatchewan. In September of 2016, he faced two counts of abducting a person under 14 after two boys were taken near La Ronge, Sask.
Charles was also charged for allegedly failing to obey a court condition ordering him not to have contact with children under the age of 16.
