Search and rescue teams will be in the air and on the ground again Saturday to look for two missing children in Pictou County.
This time, they’re targeting “specific areas around Gairloch Road,” according to a news release from police.
Volunteers, air crews, the Civil Air Search and Rescue Association, and the RCMP will be part of the search in an effort to find the children and “advance the investigation.”
Lilly and Jack Sullivan, aged six and four, were reported missing at about 10 a.m. on May 2 after wandering from their home on Gairloch Road in Lansdowne Station.

For six days a massive search covered 5.5 square kilometres of thick woods and rural land, involving more than 160 volunteers who put in tens of thousands of search hours.
However, the search was scaled back on May 7 to look deeper into targeted areas, like this one.
Underwater search teams scoured bodies of water around Lansdowne Stations on May 8 and 9 but found no evidence, the release said.
Police are looking into 180 tips from the public, as well as interviewing 35 people for the case, including those closest to Lilly and Jack.
They ask anyone with information to come forward.
