Allegedly abducted children still missing on day 5 of Amber Alert
Update: The two children who were the subject of a July 19 Amber Alert have been found safe.
An Amber Alert issued for two children who were allegedly abducted by their mother in B.C. is ongoing for a fifth day.
The two children are believed to be travelling with their mother and her boyfriend, as well as their grandfather.
Police have released photos of all the adults suspected to be involved, as well as the children, in addition to images and descriptions of the vehicles the group is believed to be travelling in.
Surrey RCMP did not release any new information or updates Sunday but a spokesperson said in a statement that they are continuing to appeal to the public to be their "eyes and ears," particularly in the backcountry.
Surrey RCMP said it is continuing to receive tips including possible sightings in “various areas in and around the Interior.”
The children normally reside with their father in Surrey, but they left with their mother on June 28 for a planned vacation to B.C.'s Okanagan region and were not returned when they were due to be on July 17.
