An Amber Alert issued for an eight-year-old boy  police believe was abducted in Thunder Bay by his father, is now  over.

Thunder Bay police initiated the amber alert this morning.

Tuesday evening police ended the amber alert and announced the boy was safe, and they had someone under arrest.

Police reported the pair may have been on the way to Saskatchewan because the father was from the Prince Albert area, but now amber alert was issued in this province.
