ESTEVAN — The Estevan Police Service, in conjunction with the RCMP Integrated Border Enforcement Team (IBET), assisted RCMP from Alberta in an investigation of a reported parental abduction that occurred on Dec. 17.
A warrant for the arrest of the female was sworn in Alberta on Dec. 21, with multiple charges relating to child abduction.
EPS and IBET members located the 27-year-old female and her three children, all under the age of 10, at a motel in the downtown area, where she was taken into custody without incident.
The children were all found to be in good health and arrangements have been made to reunite them with their father who has legal custody.
The female is being held in custody pending arrangements to transport her back to Alberta to face the charges.
The names of those involved are not being released to protect the identity of the children involved, said the EPS in a press release.
