“We are not looking for anything that is a danger to the public,” said Sgt. Patrick Webb. He said details about the search will not be immediately released to protect the integrity of the investigation.
A few officers arrived at the landfill Thursday. Additional members of the RCMP’s special tactical operations team arrived at the site Friday to conduct the search, Webb said.
More information about the search will be released as it becomes available, Webb said. Lloydminster is 250 kilometres east of Edmonton.
