Ontario Provincial Police say a software update by a third party resulted in an Amber Alert not going out to cellphones across the province this week.

An Amber Alert was issued early Thursday for a three-month-old girl believed to have been abducted by her father – she was later found safe and the father was taken into custody.

They say today that an automated third-party software update led to a technical issue that prevented the alert from being distributed as it was meant to. Police say investigators had reason to believe the suspect had not travelled far and say the OPP's Amber Alert system is now once again fully functional.
