As the search continued, RCMP said they decided to call the Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre (JRCC), which dispatched a Cormorant helicopter.
The three people were located by the crew of the helicopter “a short time later.”
“All three people were uninjured and were driven home by police,” RCMP said in a news release.
“The RCMP would like to thank the JRCC, the various fire departments and the ground search and rescue teams who attended to assist in this search.”
