Emergency crews were called out to Yarrow for a possible drowning on the Vedder River Saturday morning, and RCMP are now turning to the public for more information.

The incident happened shortly before 11 a.m. on Jan. 18 where No. 3 Road meets the river/canal.

"An unknown man was heard shouting for help and moments after was silent," Cpl. Brett Urano, division media relations officer, stated in a press release later that same day.

Chilliwack Search and Rescue was called to the scene, along with RCMP and firefighters.

"First responders located two fishing rods and a green Bass Pro Shop toque in the water near where the screams were heard but did not find anyone in the water."

Chilliwack RCMP are looking for any witnesses that may have information about this incident or can help identify the individual. The two fishing rods are a black and red Bass Pro Shop spin castor and a brown and gold 11.5 foot trophy bait castor.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611 and quote file number 2025-2344.
