The girl was found with her stepfather in downtown Victoria Tuesday evening, Comox Valley RCMP said.

The girl's mother was worried about her daughter after the pair didn't return home for dinner and contacted police, RCMP said.

Police across B.C. were trying to find the girl, who they said had last been seen by her mother in the Cumberland area on Vancouver Island.

Police recovered the girl safely within a few hours of issuing the alert.

One man was in police custody in relation to the investigation and charges are pending, Const. Tammy Douglas said in a news release issued late Tuesday.
