A technical glitch is to blame after some people received an Amber Alert notification on Saturday afternoon.
The original alert for a 9-month-old girl was issued Friday afternoon but luckily she was later found safe. Ottawa police said a suspect was taken into custody and that the investigation was ongoing.
However, the same alert was sent out on Saturday as well.
OPP issued an apology over Twitter for the "technical difficulties". The post said there was a system error and work was being done to resolve the issue.
ADVISORY: #OPP apologize for the technical difficulties relating to the #AmberAlert system. There is a system error which is out of our control. The National Alert Aggregation and Dissemination system have been contacted and are working to resolve the issue. Thank you. ^bm
