Victoria County RCMP investigators have been contacted by the owner of an unregistered boat that was found in Lake Bras d’Or on Friday near the Seal Island Bridge, according to a press release issued Saturday in the afternoon.
The 5.5-meter Starcraft aluminum boat was found in the New Harris settlement with no outboard motor connected and with hull identification number PLX13287K708.
Police responded to a report at 8:20 p.m. on Friday and learned that no one had been seen on the boat or in the area, a previous press release said.
Authorities had expressed concern that the boat was busy at the time of the drift and were conducting a search of the area.
The search of the area has since been canceled.
