PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — An Amber Alert for a 7-year-old girl who was asleep in a Honda when it was stolen in Southeast Portland was canceled after the girl was found “safe and sound in the area of Laurelhurst Park,” police said late Sunday night.
The girl was found inside the stolen 2011 black Honda Civic and was taken to PPB’s East Precinct for a reunion with her family.
About 50 officers took part in the search for the girl. Authorities said they “received many tips” from the community, which helped in the search.
