Two men and one woman were arrested in connection with the abduction of a 6-year-old in Canton Township on Friday night, authorities said.

Brandon Ramsey, 27, and Jason Ramsey, 37, were charged with abduction. Raina Becker, 27, was charged with abduction and domestic violence. 

The Stark County Sheriff's Office responded to a call about a child abduction at a home in the 1100 block of Oak Avenue Northwest at around 7:07 p.m.

Deputies' investigation into the incident reveals Becker and another woman were involved in an altercation when Becker took the other woman's child and got into a car with Brandon Ramsey and Jason Ramsey. All three suspects left the scene. 

Authorities said an AMBER Alert was issued shortly after due to safety concerns for the child. 

At around 8:42 p.m. authorities found the suspect car, including the three suspects and the 6-year-old, in the 1100 block of 14th Street Northwest in Canton. 

Authorities said the child was unharmed and returned to her mother. 

All three suspects are being held in the Stark County Jail as of Saturday morning.
