The Amber Alert for missing Bellmead 11-year-old has been canceled as police found Katelynn Marie Maldonado.

Police said Maldonado was found in her neighborhood shortly after the Amber Alert was issued. She is now safe with her family.

Police said they were looking for 16-year-old Brittani Ann Bolin in connection with her abduction. Police said it was reported Bolin had stolen her grandmother's KIA and picked up Maldonado overnight.

Bellmead police found the KIA with the 16-year-old and 11-year-old around 7:30 a.m. near Maldonado's home. 

Bolin was taken to a juvenile justice center for unauthorized use of a vehicle.

Bellmead police are still investigating the incident.
