SURREY, B.C. – A family of four that was reported missing on Tuesday has been found.

Surrey RCMP says the Anderson family has been located and is safe, but provided no further details.

RCMP had issued a public appeal asking for help finding 43-year-old Sheldon Anderson, 45-year-old Nona Anderson and the couple's two daughters, Chanel and Mariah, who are 13 and 10 respectively.

They were last seen Sunday and a family member spoke to them Monday evening.
