SAFE: Amber Alert cancelled after twin girls, mother found

Oct 15, 2014 | 8:13 PM

Saskatchewan RCMP have cancelled an Amber Alert for twin 10-year-old girls believed to have been taken by their mother.

The girls and their mother were all found safe in Carlyle at about 3:45 p.m. by police just hours after the original Amber Alert was issued around 2:30 p.m.

“Shortly after we issued the Amber Alert, Turtleford RCMP received information that the mother was in the Carlyle area,” said Sergeant Rob Cozine.

Carlyle is about 740 km southeast of Paradise Hill, where the girls were last seen.

“They were located at a local hotel. When the members went to the hotel, (they) spoke to the mother and everybody was ok, and taken into custody without incident,” explained Cozine.

The twin girls were last seen on the morning of Oct. 14, 2014 at 11:30 a.m. at their residence in Paradise Hill. Police believe the children were taken by Beverly Blythe, their mother. Although there were no injuries, Blythe is being assessed by a physician in Carlyle for precautionary measures. Mounties revealed she has a medical condition, but wouldn’t elaborate on what it is.

RCMP can’t say at this time whether she’ll face any charges.

The girls are headed home to be with their biological father.

An Amber Alert is issued when police have been notified about an abduction where a child or vulnerable adult is believed to be at risk or serious bodily harm or death.
