Halifax Regional Police say investigators have received tips about the location of two missing brothers, and believe the teens may no longer be within the original search area.

Damien Roy and Bailey Roy from Clayton Park were reported missing Oct. 4. Halifax police, ground search and rescue teams and a helicopter scoured the area around Kearney Lake Road.

Friday at around 6:30 p.m. the search was placed on hold.

Const. Stacey Opalka, speaking for HRP, said investigators have received several tips. Some of those tips contained information that the brothers are no longer located in the search area.

The investigation is still ongoing.
