HALIFAX – Police say they have searched a Halifax property where a third-storey deck collapsed, leaving five people seriously injured.
Officers say they executed a search warrant at the home on Brussels Street in the city’s south end on Saturday.
They say the owner of the home has also been interviewed.
Police say several people in their early 20s were on the wooden, third-storey deck early Saturday morning when it suddenly collapsed onto a second-storey deck.
They say five people were taken from the scene by ambulance with serious injuries and one went to hospital a few hours later.
Police say most of the injured people were on the bottom deck at the time of the collapse.
Last September, about 15 people were injured after a deck collapsed in the neighbourhood of Dartmouth.
