Corrections officers say they’ve seized more than $400,000 in contraband at Stony Mountain Institution, a multi-security level federal prison about 24 km north of Winnipeg.
The Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) said Monday that the unauthorized items — which included cannabis concentrate, as well as tobacco, nicotine patches, a cellphone, and a charger — had an estimated institutional value of $401,450.
Police continue to investigate, and CSC has set up a tip line, 1-866-780-3784, to report any activities that relate to security at any federal institutions.
