The alert for the three-year-old boy and one-year-old girl was issued by police in Timmins, Ont. a mining town almost 700 kilometres north of Toronto.

The children were reported missing Wednesday evening, after their father went to the residence following a short visit with the little boy, then took the girl and left, police say.

“Police searched all the areas here in Timmins — hotel rooms, family friends — they were not able to find the children,” Const. Rick Lemieux of Timmins Police said.

Police found the father’s car broken down in Timmins.
