Provincial police searching for two girls, 5 and 6, missing in northern Ontario

COCHRANE, Ont. — Provincial police in northeastern Ontario are looking for two young girls last seen at noon on Sunday.

They say five-year-old Amber Leonard and six-year-old Lexys Leonard were last seen near the intersection of highways 11 and 655 in Cochrane, Ont.

Officers say the girls may have been accompanied by four pit bulls — two adults and two puppies.

Police say Amber has blonde hair and was wearing a pink shirt with flowers, black pants and pink shoes.

They say Lexys has brown hair and was wearing a red short-sleeved shirt with black pants and dark shoes.

Police say they haven’t issued an Amber Alert because the situation doesn’t meet the criteria.
