HANWELL, N.B. - Police in North Bay, Ont., believe two missing patients from a local mental health facility who pose a threat to public safety were in New Brunswick earlier this week.
Cara Duval, who also goes by Cara Donnelly, and Joseph Pepin did not return to the North Bay Regional Health Centre's Mental Health and Law program after permitted off-unit privileges last Thursday.
North Bay police say they received information the two were in Hanwell just southwest of Fredericton on Tuesday.

Police are asking the public not to approach them and call 911 immediately if they're seen.
