Minneapolis police said Monday morning that a 3-year-old girl reported missing the previous day has been found safe.

In an alert posted late Sunday night, authorities had said the child was last seen around noon Sunday at the Target store near Lake Street and Minnehaha Avenue.

“She was left by her mother outside Target ... with a homeless female acquaintance while her mother went inside,” Minneapolis police and the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension had reported on Sunday night. “The acquaintance left with the child, without the mother’s permission. It is unknown what this female’s name is or where she stays at.”

Police said the child was found around 8:15 a.m. Monday on the 1300 block of University Avenue West in St. Paul. She was still with her mother’s acquaintance. According to the police report, there was no indication that the child was in danger.

A police spokesperson said the department has referred the case to child protection services.
