Two children, ages 4 and 6, missing in Pictou County

RCMP in Nova Scotia's Pictou County have put out a public appeal for help to find two children who have been missing since this morning when it's believed they wandered away from a home.

Police said Lily Sullivan, 6, and Jack Sullivan, 4, were last seen on Gairloch Road in Lansdowne Station, about 20 kilometres southwest of New Glasgow, N.S.

A search involving police and other agencies is underway. A helicopter from the Department of Natural Resources is helping.

RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Carlie McCann said the children left a home and were reported missing at 10 a.m. They are believed to have wandered, she said. There's no evidence they were abducted, so no Amber Alert was issued.

Lily has shoulder-length light brown hair with bangs. RCMP said she might be wearing a pink sweater, pink pants and pink boots. Jack has short blondish hair. He was wearing blue dinosaur boots. 

Anyone with information about the children is urged to call Pictou County District RCMP at 902-485-4333.
