A Vancouver-area mother and her nine-year-old daughter who was the subject of an Amber Alert in Washington state have been found.
Bellingham police have tweeted that a female suspect is in custody, and that the girl is safe and in protective custody.
Police said earlier that officers were with the pair at a local church after confirming the mother's car was found outside a Coachman Inn on Monday afternoon.
Police in New Westminster, B.C., say the girl had a custody visit with her mother on Sunday before they received reports that she went missing.
Police say they believe the 48-year-old mother then took her daughter, violating a court order, and crossed the border into the United States.
