As investigators continue to exhaust all tips and information coming in, officers believe that Aurora Bolton and Joshuah Bolton are in the company of Verity Bolton, Robert Bolton, and Abraxas Glazov.
“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.
