GALVESTON, Texas — Searchers are trying to locate two boys who were last seen in the water near the seawall in Galveston.

A Coast Guard statement says the boys — ages 11 and 16 — were reported missing around 6:30 p.m. Sunday. Officials believe the children went into the water near some jetties, at 17th Street and Seawall Boulevard, when they disappeared.

Searchers in boats, in a helicopter and on foot looked for the boys Sunday night along the shore in Galveston. Petty Officer 3rd Class Johanna Strickland says the search resumed Monday.

Further details on the boys weren't immediately released.
