West Kelowna RCMP issued an Amber Alert shortly after midnight Wednesday, July 22, after concerns that a four-year-old boy had been abducted by his mother.

Mounties said they received a report Tuesday, July 21, of a parental abduction. As a result, an Amber Alert was issued across B.C. to help police locate four-year-old Atlas Andrews, who was reported missing from West Kelowna.

Police believe the boy is with his mother, 40-year-old Alisse Andrews.

The Amber Alert said their last known location was on Ridge Boulevard in West Kelowna at about 11:20 a.m.

Police believe they could be travelling in a black 2021 Nissan Qashqai with B.C. licence plate RV003L.

Anyone who has seen Atlas Andrews, or the vehicle, is asked to call 911 immediately.
