WASHINGTON — A 6-week-old child who was the subject of an Amber Alert has been located and her mother has been arrested in Maryland, police said.
Prince George’s County police said that Liz Khatun was found safe in Chillum and that her mother was in custody.
Flora Khatun, 31, of Falls Church, is wanted in Fairfax County on a parental abduction charge.
An Amber Alert was issued in Virginia Wednesday afternoon for Liz after staff with Child Protective Services couldn’t locate either the baby or her mother, Fairfax County police said.
Child Protective Services was set to remove Liz from her mother’s custody by court order. When they could not find mother and child, staff called police Tuesday to file a missing persons report, according to Fairfax County police.
County detectives also couldn’t find the baby or mother and issued the Amber Alert to assist in their search. They also obtained the arrest warrant for Khatun.
