RCMP say he was taken on Tuesday from the hamlet of Valhalla Centre, roughly 45 kilometres northwest of Grande Prairie, Alta., as the crow flies.

The Amber Alert initially issued in Alberta was expanded to include B.C., Yukon and the Northwest Territories.

Police say the boy may be with his mother, 35-year-old Krista Morrison, as well as 35-year-old Daniel Ludwig and four-year-old Karl Morrison.
