Police now believe the mother they are searching for in an Amber Alert may have access to another vehicle.

Surrey RCMP said Verity Bolton has been seen driving a 2012 Dodge Ram 2500, but now say she may be driving an SUV.

A green 1996 Mitsubishi Delica is registered under her name, but police aren't sure whether there are licence plates on the vehicle, according to a Surrey RCMP news release issued today, July 27.

Bolton, 45, is the mother of Joshuah, 10, and Aurora Bolton, 8, who are the subjects of the Amber Alert issued just over a week ago. They were last seen on June 30 in Kelowna, but were supposed to be returned to their father in Surrey earlier his month.

Bolton is suspected to be travelling not only with the children, but also her father Robert Bolton and her boyfriend Abraxas Glazov.

Surrey RCMP have released photos of three separate trailers that have been towed by the blue Dodge Ram since June 30, but have now released more detailed information about two of them.

“We are asking the public to continue to remain vigilant, and report any possible sightings or information that could lead us to locate Joshuah and Aurora,” Staff Sgt. Dave Strachan of the Surrey RCMP major crime section said in the news release.

Joshuah and Aurora were last seen on gas station surveillance footage on July 7, while their mother was seen in Kamloops on July 15.

Glazov is familiar with the Deadman and Vidette areas near Kamloops, Surrey RCMP said last week.

They believe the children have been taken off grid since the pre-planned abduction.

“While the last confirmed sighting of Verity was July 15 in Kamloops, we know that she has access to multiple vehicles/trailers and may have travelled elsewhere since that time. Our investigators remain open to all possibilities and leads," Strachan said.

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Aurora and Joshuah Bolton can contact the tip line at 604-599-7676 or SurreyAmberAlert@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.
