An Amber Alert issued early Thursday morning for a six-year-old boy was cancelled Friday afternoon for Alberta, but remains in place for British Columbia.

The alert was expanded to B.C. and much of the Northwest Territories and the Yukon after the child was spotted in Fort St. John, B.C., on Wednesday morning.

Police are actively investigating any leads and say there have been multiple sightings.

CTV News Edmonton has made the decision to take down the group’s information due to the cancellation of the alert in Alberta.
