Amber Alert issued for 2 children allegedly abducted in Kelowna, B.C.
Update: The two children who were the subject of a July 19 Amber Alert have been found safe.
Authorities have issued an Amber Alert for two young children believed to have been abducted following a vacation in B.C.'s Okanagan.
The RCMP said the children were not returned to their father after travelling to the Kelowna area with their mother.
The children were reported missing to the Surrey RCMP on Tuesday.
However, the mother and children have not been seen since June 30, when they were spotted at a restaurant in downtown Kelowna, Krafty Kitchen + Bar, according to Kelowna RCMP.
The children left Surrey on June 28, Cpl. Vanessa Munn with Surrey RCMP said during a briefing Wednesday, and were supposed to be returned to their father on July 17.
“They were not, and no one has been able to make contact with them,” Munn said.
The group was planning on camping in the area, but the booking was cancelled and they never arrived at the campground, Munn said.
It is not known if they are still in the Kelowna area or if they have travelled elsewhere in the province, she added.
Munn said police are concerned for the mother's mental health and her ability to care for the children: “We believe the children are at risk.”
