Two children from Surry, B.C. have now been reported as missing for six days.

The children, Joshuah, 10, and Aurora Bolton, 8, left for vacation with their mother, Verity Bolton, who does not have sole custody, on June 28. The children were not returned home to their father, who is the primary caregiver of the children on July 17, and attempts to contact Verity were unsuccessful.

The children were last seen on July 7, on security camera footage a gas station in Merritt.

Verity was last seen on security camera footage at a grocery store in Kamloops on July 15.

It is suspected that the children are also travelling with Verity’s father, 74-year-old Robert Bolton, and her boyfriend, 53-year-old Abraxas Glazov.

The children, Verity and the two men are believed to be travelling in a dark blue Dodge Ram 2500 with a horse trailer and a travel trailer.

Investigators believe that the children are still in the province of B.C.
