Spokesperson said divers were assisting in police investigation
The RCMP confirmed the force’s dive team was in the Florenceville-Bristol area on Sunday and Monday, Nov. 19 and 20, to assist in an investigation.
The Western Valley Region RCMP spokesman said the dive team joined multiple RCMP units in the area on Sunday afternoon and Monday.
He said the team was assisting the force’s Major Crime Unit.
The spokesperson dismissed rumours spreading throughout the community that someone fell or jumped off a bridge in Florenceville-Bristol.
“We can confirm that this was not a first-response situation,” he said.
Beyond that, however, the RCMP said they could not disclose additional information regarding the ongoing investigation.
