Sudbury Police Update 8: Councilor Vagnini Missing
Today the Ontario Provincial Police (O.P.P.) helicopter will be in the Greater Sudbury area to assist with the search effort for missing person 62-year old Michael Vagnini. We have also called upon the North Shore Search and Rescue Team who will assist in the ground search today. General areas of focus for today’s search will include the McCharles Lake Road, Panache Lake Road and surrounding areas. We request that the public remain away from these locations today to allow for search personnel and emergency vehicles to access and effectively search these locations.
We truly appreciate the support and efforts of those in our community that have taken it upon themselves to help find Michael. We ask that you please be mindful of your own safety.
Let someone know where you will be going and when you should be expected to return. Avoid entering onto our local waterways as the waters are not frozen.
It is important to remember that different lakes within our community freeze at different rates, and safe ice thickness can change with the fluctuating weather. We highly recommend staying off of lakes and rivers.
