Stony Mountain Institution says a package of drugs and other contraband recently intercepted at the prison would have been worth more than $700,000 on the inside.
In a release Friday, the federal institution just north of Winnipeg said staff members seized the package which had been bound for the prison’s maximum security unit Oct. 7.
They say the package contained cocaine, fentanyl, methamphetamine, marijuana extract, heroin, marijuana, cellphones and USB cables.
