Four people are in police custody and are being questioned, but there have been no charges laid.

Police and Nova Scotia Ground Search and Rescue are currently searching an area near 214 Willett St.

They’re urging the public to stay away from the area so that investigators can conduct a thorough search, and they’re asking people to search their own properties and report anything suspicious right away.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published May 23, 2026.
