A missing Lower Hutt three-year-old who was the subject of an amber alert earlier today has been found safe.
The child disappeared from Wainuiomata about 9am, and police said the amber alert was resolved shortly after 11am.
A search in the area had been under way until the child was found safe.
The amber alert system - a project between the New Zealand police missing persons unit and Facebook - works to notify the public through various channels when a young person is missing or at risk of harm.
