An eastern P.E.I. man faces eight charges, including attempted murder, after an Amber Alert was issued early Tuesday morning.
RCMP issued an Amber Alert at 4:30 a.m. Tuesday, saying a man had reportedly abducted a girl.
The girl was found safe in Souris a few hours later and the man was taken into custody without incident, RCMP said.
That man now faces eight charges:
CBC News is not naming the accused to protect the identity of the child. The man remains in custody and is scheduled to appear in Georgetown provincial court Thursday morning.
The incident also involved a woman who police initially believe had also been abducted, but was later found safe.
There were no injuries in the incident, police said Tuesday.

Sarnia City Council will hold a special meeting Tuesday morning to respond to social media comments made by Coun. Bill Dennis, who criticized city spending on a new mural by Indigenous artist Kennady Osborne as “virtue signalling by woke politicians” — then made a series of comments in response to a reply from Aamjiwnaang Chief Janelle Nahmabin that some have characterized as unprofessional and aggressive.
