CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Virginia State Police say they have located a missing boy and charges are pending against the woman who allegedly took him from a Charlottesville home two days ago.

An Amber Alert for 5-year-old Bricen Kent Mwanawabene was canceled Tuesday morning after authorities say he was found safe. He disappeared from a home on Cherry Avenue in Charlottesville around 7:30 Sunday night.

Investigators believe he was abducted from the address by Kerlie Johnson Gage, who left driving a 1997 red Honda CRV with Virginia tags. She was stopped Tuesday morning and taken into custody.

State Police say the boy was unharmed. Gage faces an abduction charge.
