RCMP update on search for missing fishermen

​

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

​

Yesterday, RCMP Air Services searched approximately 100 kilometres of coastline from Digby Gut to Harbourville by helicopter. Debris was located consistent with a small section of the upper portion of the Chief William Saulis. Police are partnering with the Transportation Safety Board to determine whether the debris is from the Chief William Saulis.

​

The aerial search is expected to resume tomorrow; no aerial searching is occurring today due to the availability of a helicopter.

​

The Nova Scotia RCMP will be providing the public with updates and information​ on the search for the missing fishermen.
