The Nova Scotia RCMP has temporarily suspended the search for a youth who went missing during the devastating Nova Scotia floods due to dangerous conditions.

In an update Monday morning, police said the search has been suspended to allow the remaining water in a search area to drain.

RCMP Supt. Sean Auld said in a release that there are deep pockets of water in the search zone and searching those pockets has become too dangerous for the searchers.

"In some areas you could have a couple inches of water and the very next step you're gonna take it eight feet straight down," RCMP Cpl. Chris Marshall said during a press conference on Monday.

Some search activity will be resumed once those areas are drained.

The youth was one of four people who went missing after two separate vehicles were submerged in the early hours of July 22.
