The search continues for two missing girls from Waterloo region who were last seen in Brampton, Ont., just over two weeks ago.
Waterloo Regional Police Service (WRPS) say a 15-year-old from Kitchener and 17-year-old from Waterloo were last seen at the Bramalea City Centre on March 29.
WRPS is not releasing the last names of the two girls.
Police are asking anyone with information to contact them at 519-570-9777 ext. 8191.
Ontario Provincial Police also posted to X, formerly known as Twitter, asking for assistance with regional police's search for the girls.
The mother of one of the teens has been vocal on social media about their disappearance being potentially connected to human trafficking.
"Human trafficking is real and our kids are not safe," wrote the mother in a Facebook post.
Although police did not confirm if there is a connection, they did tell CBC News in an email that "anyone with information concerning potential human trafficking is encouraged to contact WRPS's Human Trafficking Team."
It was also noted that supports for victims of human trafficking can be facilitated without contacting police, via Victims Services of Waterloo Region.
