Delta police officers flooded Tsawwassen last Friday afternoon in search of a missing boy.
Acting on a tip that the car believed to be involved in the abduction of three-year-old Kienan Hebert of Sparwood was seen in Tsawwassen, police controlled traffic at all major choke points and even searched a B.C. ferry.
The Coastal Celebration was turned around and returned to the dock in Tsawwassen. The ferry resumed its trip to Vancouver Island about half an hour later after nothing suspicious was found on board.
Delta police spokesperson A/Sgt. Paul Eisenzimmer said officers maintained a perimeter in the South Delta area for about two hours before calling off the search.
Hebert, who was taken from his home last Tuesday evening, was returned, reportedly unharmed, early Sunday morning.
His suspected abductor, 46year-old Randall Hopley, was captured yesterday morning in Alberta.
