news-police flashing lights

Police have identified the missing snowmobiler who while travelling on the St. Mary’s River entered open water on Sunday night.
Missing is 45-year old John Szczepanik of Laurier Avenue in the Sault.
The search for the missing man was suspended yesterday due to unstable conditions.
The area of the search has very unstable ice and open water sections as high winds coupled with channel currents and unstable temperatures has caused ice break up and pile up.
Police say continued air, land, as well as underwater rescue efforts will resume at such time that the conditions permit safe entry to the search area.
