RCMP have made an arrest in connection to the Amber Alert last Sunday.

Emma O'Keeffe had been left in the back of her parents' running Mercedes when it was taken from outside a strip mall in North Battleford. The six-year-old, who is autistic, epileptic and non-verbal, was found safe almost 14 hours later still inside the SUV a few kilometres away from where it was stolen.

Police say 19-year-old Johnathan Gunville has been charged with abducting a child, unlawful confinement, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, theft of a motor vehicle and other offences.

Gunville is being held in custody and will appear in North Battleford Provincial Court on Monday.
