Frontline officers and investigators in General Investigation Units throughout the Southeast District as well as the Nelson Police Department have been assisting Surrey RCMP in following up on tips and sightings. Surrey RCMP is working closely with partner agencies including local search and rescue groups, the BC Conservation Officer Service who is assisting with ground searches and RCMP Air Services who is assisting with air searches.
“We need the public to stay vigilant and call our tip line or email tips with any sightings,” states Surrey Media Relations Officer, Sergeant Tammy Lobb. “We know they have been using the same truck and they have been towing three different trailers, and we need the public to keep this in mind. It’s also possible the children could be spotted with either Robert Bolton, Abraxas Glazov, or their mother Verity Bolton,” added Lobb.
