Search Called Off After Spotted Flare Reports


An official says a search launched along the South Shore after a flare was reportedly spotted has been called off. The Canadian Press was first to report the search was called off. Major Martell Thompson, a spokesman for the Joint Rescue Co-ordinator Centre in Halifax, says searches were conducted along the Liverpool shoreline, but nothing out of the ordinary was found. He also says no local vessels or people have been reported overdue.
