OPP investigating why Amber Alert wasn’t sent to most residents
Many cell phone users reported not receiving the Amber Alert notification early Thursday morning.
The OPP says they are aware the notification was not sent to everyone and are working to figure out why.
“The Amber Alert was successfully received by those in the area where the child had last been seen prior to her abduction,” reads a statement from police.
“We are working to determine the cause of the problem and ensure it is resolved as quickly as possible.”
