Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 17 Apr, 2025 11:10 AM

The RCMP say a woman and two young children are missing in the woods near the Quebec border with the United States after they were part of a group attempting to cross into Canada.

Three other people — two men and a woman — were arrested Wednesday night after crossing the border illegally near Godmanchester, Que., a small municipality that borders New York state.

RCMP Cpl. Martina Pillarova says police interviewed the three people caught and learned a woman and two young children were missing in the woods.

Officers began searching the area, located 65 kilometres southwest of Montreal, shortly after midnight.

They are being assisted by a tracking dog, a helicopter and resources from the Quebec provincial police.

Officials have reported a rise in the number of asylum seekers from the U.S. heading to the border with Canada since President Donald Trump took office in January.
