A missing man is back home safe thanks to new technology being used by RCMP.

Around 4 p.m. on Aug. 29, Creighton RCMP received a missing person report after an elderly man disappeared while picking berries on trails along Highway 106.

When officers started their search, they heard distant yelling coming from the wooded area.

A Mavic drone was launched and was able to find the man. It stayed hovering above until officers were able to contact the man.
