Shelburne RCMP and Ground Search and Rescue have found a missing person after a five hour search that began last night.
The search began after police were requested to conduct a wellbeing check at a home on Morvan Rd around 8:45 p.m.
According to police, a neighbour noticed the home owner’s electric mobility scooter sitting at the end of the driveway with it’s lights on since approximately 5 p.m. that evening.
