A 17-year old male is back home safe with his family thanks to the efforts of South Cariboo Search and Rescue.
100 Mile House RCMP Corporal Ryder Birtwistle says police were notified of an overdue snowmobiler in the area of Spanish Lake, Northeast of Canim Lake on Saturday (Jan 16) evening at around 6-15.
“Family and friends had returned to the parking lot and the 17-year-old male did not meet them. Some of the party remained on the hill and began searching while others left to alert South Cariboo Search and Rescue (SAR) who contacted 100 Mile House RCMP.”
SAR located the youth uninjured at about 10:30 pm.
Birtwistle says search and rescue was mobilized and tasked with searching the area for the missing youth.
