The province-wide Amber Alert that gripped the attention of British Columbians has been called off, as the two missing children at the center of the search have been found safe.
Surrey RCMP confirmed that the siblings, whose disappearance prompted the urgent alert on July 19th, have been located.
The joyous news came on the evening of July 29th, at approximately 7:20 p.m., when the children were discovered by authorities.
Details about the circumstances leading to their location have not been released yet, but the focus now remains on reuniting the young ones with their relieved family.
The case drew widespread concern and attention across the province, with the Amber Alert system being activated to quickly spread information about the missing children.
The collaborative effort of law enforcement agencies, media outlets, and concerned citizens played a significant role in the successful recovery of the siblings.
As the children’s safety is paramount, Surrey RCMP said further details surrounding the case may be revealed in the coming days as the investigation unfolds. However, for now, the priority is the well-being of the siblings and providing them with the necessary support they require after their ordeal.
The Surrey RCMP has expressed their gratitude to everyone involved in the search and rescue efforts, acknowledging that the community’s swift and widespread response made all the difference in finding the missing children.
Aurora Bolton and Joshuah Bolton left Surrey, BC, in the care of their mother on June 28th, for a planned camping trip.
They were due to return to their father, who is their primary guardian on July 17th, but did not return and were reported missing the following day.
