WELLAND, Ont. - Police in Ontario have issued a Canada-wide warrant for a woman they allege abducted her nine-year-old daughter, prompting an Amber Alert over the weekend.

Layla's case continues to be treated as a missing person investigation but police said Saturday that enough time had elapsed that they concluded the Amber Alert.
