A sweep of the riverbanks in search of a missing person ended with a positive outcome on Sunday.
Trail RCMP Sgt. Mike Wicentowich reported search and rescue (SAR) found the person alive in the late afternoon.
“SAR located the missing person,” he confirmed. “The missing person was taken into police custody and will be medically assessed. Thank you to SAR for all their efforts.”
The Trail RCMP detachment issued a public alert at approximately 4 p.m. on Sunday, advising of a search operation being conducted along the Columbia River near Trail.
“SAR will be operating out of Gyro Park,” Wicentowich reported. “You may see their boat or volunteers working along the river and its banks. SAR would like the public to know that these kind of searches can sometimes intrude on their private property.”
