News release

The RCMP is updating on the search for the five missing fishermen from the Chief Williams Saulis fishing vessel.

Yesterday, the RCMP, in partnership with Department of Lands and Forestry, searched the coastline from Digby Gut to Harbourville via helicopter. The search did not locate the missing fishermen nor debris from the vessel.

Due to unfavourable conditions, including a low ceiling, there is no aerial search today.
