ATLANTA – A young boy found wandering the streets of Atlanta on Halloween night has been identified, and his parents have been located, police say.

FOX 5 was there as Atlanta Police Uniform Patrol officers tried to make contact with the residents of a house on Briar Ridge Way. Officers confirmed their response was in connection to the wandering child but did not comment further.
The search ultimately ended around 1 p.m. Friday after the family had been located.
Police provided no explanation for what happened to lead to the child wandering in the street, nor did they say whether any charges would be filed. They would only say the investigation is still active.
