Nova Scotia RCMP said Monday they suspended their search for a youth who was among four people swept away on July 22 by rushing floodwaters following a torrential downpour.

Police will resume the operation to find the youth once the remaining water in the search area northwest of Halifax is able to drain, they said. Supt. Sean Auld told reporters in Windsor, N.S., that search teams encountered pockets of water over the weekend up to three metres deep.

RCMP have said two vehicles were knocked off the road into a hayfield in Brooklyn, N.S., by rapidly rising water during a storm that dumped up to 250 millimetres of rain on parts of the province. Last week, searchers recovered the bodies of two six-year-old children — identified as Natalie Hazel Harnish and Colton Sisco — and 52-year-old Nicholas Holland, who was travelling with the missing youth.
