POLICE last night said "enquiries are ongoing" into the disappearance of two young children in Belfast.
Patrick Hovarth (5) and his older brother Fabricio (8) were last seen on Friday getting into a black Ford car in the Limestone Road area.
The PSNI had appealed for the public’s help to locate the boys who they believe may be in the company of a relative.
When asked for an update on the search last night, a police spokeswoman said there was no change to their appeal.
She added that "enquiries are ongoing".
In an appeal issued over the weekend, police said they were becoming "increasingly concerned" about the welfare of the two boys.
Inspector Phil McCullagh said: "We are keen to know that both boys are safe and well.
"We believe they may be in the company of a relative in Northern Ireland or possibly in Ireland - and so I would appeal to that person to get in touch with police as soon as possible on 101.
"Both boys are dark-haired and were seen getting into a black Ford car around 6pm on Friday 14 May in the Limestone Road area of Belfast.
"At that time, the younger brother, Patrick, was wearing light-coloured bottoms and top with black shoes.
"Fabricio was wearing grey bottoms and a purple and green top.
"If any members of the public have any information about the boys or have seen them since Friday evening, I would urge them to contact police immediately."
