At approximately 9:30 p.m., thanks to the coordinated response, the individual was located. He was found to be uninjured and unaffected by the weather conditions.

“The New Brunswick RCMP would like to thank those who assisted during this call for service. At times, it doesn’t take much exposure to the elements before it threatens a person’s wellbeing,” says Sgt.
