Father of B.C. children contacts RCMP, assures police they are safe
COMOX VALLEY, B.C. — Mounties on Vancouver Island say a father who is alleged to have abducted his four children and fled to the Middle East has contacted investigators and assured them the kids are safe.
Comox Valley RCMP said Saren Azer recently reached out to police and answered many of the investigators’ questions. Discussions are ongoing as to how RCMP will confirm the kids’ safety, said Cpl. Janelle Shoihet.
Shoihet said the investigation is “very active and ongoing,” but she was unable to provide additional details.
“This investigation remains a priority for the Comox Valley RCMP and we are hopeful that this dialogue will continue, and ultimately lead to a successful resolution,” she said in an email.
