RCMP had turned to public for assistance in locating a 15-year-old boy who'd been missing for several days

The Oromocto detachment of the RCMP reports the 15-year-old boy from the community who’d been reported missing has been located.

The RCMP issued a news release Monday indicating the teenage boy had last been seen Saturday night, and he was reported as missing to police Sunday. 

However, in a followup advisory issued Wednesday, the Mounties reported the boy had “been located safe and sound,” and offered thanks to members of the public who aided in the effort to find him.
