Update: The two children involved in the Amber Alert issued July 19 have been located safe. Their names have been removed from this story to protect their privacy. Read the full update here.
Police are releasing more details and photographs of the vehicles two missing children are believed to be travelling in.
The kids went on a planned camping vacation near Kelowna with their mother, and were not returned to their father in Surrey, who has primary custody, on July 17. An Amber Alert was issued on July 19.
On Thursday, Surrey RCMP provided updated information on two of the trailers in the mother's possession, as well as information on another vehicle that may be in her possession.
Staff Sgt. Dave Strachan of the Surrey RCMP Major Crime Section says investigators remain open to all possibilities and leads.
Since the investigation began on July 19, Surrey RCMP has received over 180 tips. However, there has not been a confirmed sighting of the children since July 7, when they attended a gas station in Merritt.
Police are asking for the public’s help to find the group.
Up until Thursday, police believed the vehicle they were using was a dark blue 2012 Dodge Ram 2500 but have now added another possible vehicle.
The group may have access to a green 1996 Mitsubishi Delica with a right-hand drive.
Police have previously released images of three separate trailers.
Investigators are releasing additional details obtained in relation to two of the trailers:
- Horse trailer seen in Kamloops, B.C. on July 15, 2023, has been identified as a White 2018 Maverick Highside horse trailer
- The large 5th wheel seen in Chilliwack on June 30, 2023, has been identified as a Brown 2018 Cougar trailer, model 368
The Dodge Ram continues to be the 'primary' vehicle in the investigation.
Strachan is asking the public to remain vigilant in looking for the Amber Alert children.
