UPDATE: RCMP say they have found 16-year-old Quentin Rafuse of Simms Settlement
The search for a missing teen continues Wednesday and Lunenburg County District RCMP are asking the public to keep their distance from crews.
They say ground search and rescue teams and police dogs are running into people in wooded areas conducting their own searches, which can inhibit their search.
Quentin Rafuse of Simms Settlement, aged 16, was last seen in a wooded area around Fox Point Lake at about 10:30 a.m. Tuesday. He was reported missing at 2 p.m. that day.
He was wearing a red T-shirt, dark shorts and white sneakers.
Crews are currently conducting an extensive search in the Simms Settlement area with the help of a helicopter from the Department of Natural Resources.
Residents living along Highway 3 in Simms Settlement and Highway 329 near Hubbards/Fox Point are being asked to check their exterior garages, camps and cottages and call police if they see Rafuse.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Lunenburg District RCMP at 902-742-9106 or submit an anonymous tip through Crime Stoppers.
