A trio of search and rescue teams from Vernon, Kelowna and the Shuswap scoured an area outside Vernon by both ground and air.

Concerns were mounted because he is not an experienced rider and he was not wearing a helmet.

But the search ended when Macinnes returned home on his own at about 10:15 a.m. Thursday.

He is now being interviewed by police and it is not yet known where he had been or if he has any injuries. (CKIZ)
