LANSDOWNE STATION - Police say a search for two young children believed to have wandered away from their home in rural northeastern Nova Scotia is set to resume on Sunday. 

The RCMP says searchers haven't yet located six-year-old Lily Sullivan and four-year-old Jack Sullivan, who were last seen around 10 a.m. Friday in the community of Lansdowne Station.

RCMP Cpl. Carlie McCann says there is no evidence the children were abducted.

Police describe Lily Sullivan as having shoulder-length, light brown hair with bangs, and say she might be wearing a pink sweater, pink pants and pink boots.

Jack Sullivan has short, blond hair and is wearing blue dinosaur boots. 

The Mounties say a multi-agency search has been taking place since Friday, while a helicopter from the provincial Department of Natural Resources was also deployed.
