A mother, father and their son who had been reported missing in Kitchener have been found in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and are safe, police say.

Waterloo regional police say a member of the public notified them after seeing the missing persons media release.

The family was last seen in Kitchener on Sept. 1 in the Doon Road and Rockway Drive area of Kitchener after visiting friends.

Police say the family of five travelled to Toronto from Vietnam on Aug. 6 and later travelled to Kitchener to visit friends.

On Sept. 1, the parents and their five-year-old son "left a residence in a ride share to visit an unknown friend at an unknown location," police said.

They left two other children, aged 12 and 14, at the residence.

"Waterloo regional police would like to thank members of the public for their assistance in locating the three missing family members," police said in a release Friday morning.
