GROVE CITY, Ohio — An Amber Alert issued for a 15-year-old central Ohio girl has been canceled.

The Grove City Police Department issued an alert early Saturday morning for a 15-year-old girl believed to be abducted by another teen late Friday night. That suspect was believed to be possibly armed and dangerous.

Police said the 15-year-old was found safe and the suspect, who was her 17-year-old boyfriend, is in custody.

The suspect was seen on social media Friday with a gun and was believed to be possibly armed and dangerous. Police also believed the 17-year-old, who has multiple warrants for robbery and kidnapping another person, stole a vehicle in connection with kidnapping his girlfriend.

Police did not specify where the 15-year-old was located.
