Two sisters are missing in Surrey after they did not return home after school on Friday.

Edina and Amina Ambeskovic, who are 11 and 16 years old, were last seen between 3 and 4 p.m. as Amina was picking her little sister up from Dr. F. D. Sinclair Elementary. So far, all police can guess is that they went missing somewhere between the school and their house, which is some two or three blocks away.

Surrey investigators have no witnesses, and said they are still gathering information to try and piece together leads.

The girls' parents, Sead and Mirsada Ambeskovic, are panicked and devastated.

"It's horrible," said Sead, who immigrated to Canada from Bosnia with his family in 2001. Both Sead and police said the disappearances are highly uncharacteristic of the girls.

"They always are with me and have never had a problem with me or with my wife or with each other," said Sead.

Amina is described as about five feet tall with a medium build, fair complexion and black hair. Edina is about four feet tall with a thin build, fair complexion and black hair as well.

Anyone with information is asked to call Surrey RCMP at 604-599-7799.
