The Correctional Service of Canada says it has seized more than $400,000 in contraband at Stony Mountain Institution.
Officers at the federal prison, located just north of Winnipeg, seized methamphetamine, cocaine, THC, lighters, cell phones and accessories on Tuesday.
The total estimated value of the seizure is $437,270, according to officials.
“The Correctional Service of Canada uses a number of tools to prevent drugs from entering its institutions,” a press release said. “These tools include ion scanners and drug-detector dogs to search buildings, personal property, inmates, and visitors.”
CSC says police have been notified and the institution is investigating.
