    It was cancelled about an hour later, with police saying the boy had been located and was safe and sound.
     
    Police later advised that the boy had not been abducted.
     
    They also said they wanted to speak to anyone who witnessed or was involved in an incident at the intersection where the boy was picked up by his parents.
