Authorities say a 3-year-old boy who disappeared from a Smithfield flea market has been found unharmed.

Johnston County 911 supervisor Jason Thompson says Smithfield police contacted them around 12:35 a.m. Tuesday to say Siraj Munir Davenport had been found.

But Thompson says police have not given any other details.

The boy was at his mother's side as she loaded her car at the Brightleaf Flea Market in Smithfield on Sunday. She said she turned around and he was gone.

A state Highway Patrol helicopter flew over the area Monday and Johnston County sheriff's deputies led a ground search.
