The North Battleford and Cutknife RCMP say they have a suspect in custody after three children were allegedly abducted by a man who is known to them.

Those children – an eight-year-old girl, a 13-year-old girl and an 11-year-old boy – were found safe and unharmed, along with another child, a short time later.

RCMP in North Battleford got a call Thursday afternoon from an adult on the Sweetgrass First Nation saying the three children had been taken from the area in an SUV.

A couple of hours later the man was found at a residence on the Little Pine First Nation and taken into custody.

RCMP say charges are pending.
