HABERSHAM COUNTY, Ga. — The Habersham County Sheriff's Office confirms that the 6-year-old girl at the center of an Amber Alert was found safe.
An Amber Alert was issued for a child out of Habersham County who was believed to be in "extreme danger," authorities said.
The sheriff's office says a 17-year-old girl left with her 6-year-old sister on Sunday morning and the mother was unable to make contact with them several hours later.
Authorities say the mother was concerned for her older daughter's mental health.
An Amber Alert was issued just after 4 a.m. on Monday for the missing girls.
At 7:45 a.m., the sheriff's office was notified by the Walker County Sheriff's Office that they had located the two sisters on the side of the road and were not injured.
The older girl was taken into custody on charges of interference with child custody.
