WATCH: Used needles continue to be a problem in Winnipeg neighbourhoods. Global's Austin Siragusa explains – Oct 10, 2018

The Wolseley neighbourhood watch group is warning residents about an uptick of used needles found in their neighbourhood.

The group took to Facebook to post photos of their findings after a walk on Oct 9.

“Wolseley Watch found more drug paraphernalia at our community’s historic Vimmy [sic] Ridge park,” they wrote.

Aleksandra Osipova of the watch group said an increase of needles in the neighbourhood has been seen in the past weeks.

This comes on the heels of the Bear Clan, who recently reported they recovered 1,100 and 1,300 used needles on Mountain Avenue.

The group called it the second-largest number of needles they have ever recovered.
