Beaver Creek intercepts $100K in contraband
Staff at Beaver Creek Institution in Gravenhurst have seized a package containing contraband, including tobacco and crystal methamphetamine, with an estimated value of nearly $102,000.
The Correctional Service of Canada says the package was likely dropped by a drone on Sunday at the minimum and medium security facility.
The CSC uses various methods, including ion scanners and drug-detection dogs, to prevent contraband from entering its institutions.
Details on who attempted to bring the items into the prison have not been released, and there is no word on any arrests or charges at this time.
