MERRITT (NEWS1130) – Mounties in Merritt fear the worst as they search for two local teenagers in Nicola Valley.

“The RCMP helicopter attended this morning at dawn and located the canoe that was overturned on the south side of Nicola Lake,” explains Constable Tracy Dunsmore with Merritt RCMP.

“The paddles were located, but we haven’t been able to locate the boys, at this point,” she adds.

A car belonging to the pair was found in the parking lot of an RV park.

The 16 and 17-year-old boys from Langley have not been seen since noon yesterday.
