Winnipeg Police Say Missing Manitoba Kids Found Safe With Their Mom

The Canadian Press, 25 Jun, 2016 12:00 PM

Winnipeg police say two missing children have been found safe with their mom.

Police said on social media that Montana Giesbrecht, who is 11, and Josh Giesbrecht, who is 9, were located in Winnipeg Friday.

The children disappeared Monday after getting into a car with someone police believe they knew.

Officers believed they were with their mother, Sandra Giesbrecht.

Police say they will not release any more details until Saturday morning.

Officers issued a Canada-wide arrest warrant for Giesbrecht Wednesday, pleading with her to contact them.

An Amber Alert was not issued for the children because police said they didn't have a detailed enough description of the vehicle.
