WEST VALLEY CITY — A 6-year-old girl who was believed to have been taken late Friday by an acquaintance was safely reunited with her family Saturday.
An advisory was issued earlier in the day, following the alleged kidnapping.
Prior to being found, the Utah Department of Public Safety said the child had last been seen at 9:48 p.m. on Friday, at 3274 W. 3540 South in West Valley City. A social media post from the West Valley City Police Department said the child was left in the care of a family friend.
"While there, a cousin of the family visited the home, then left with the child without permission," the post states. Police also said they were looking to speak with 34-year-old Ayak Ngor, who was believed to have taken the child.
Around 1:40 p.m., a follow-up social media post said the child had been "located and is safe."
