WACO, Texas — A 16-year-old teenage girl from Waco at the center of an AMBER Alert has been found safe, according to the Waco Police Department. 

"Investigators worked hard and we couldn't be happier with the outcome of this case," the department said in an updated Facebook post. "Thank you to all the hard work by the multiple officers and detectives that spend hours on this." 

The AMBER Alert was first issued early Sunday morning, but was canceled hours later after the teenager was found. 

6 News has removed the name and photo of the girl as she is a minor and has now been found.
