Major contraband seizure at Bowden Institution
A staff and RCMP investigation has been launched into the seizure of contraband worth hundreds of thousands of dollars at the Bowden Institution on Monday.
Officials with the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) say packages containing crystal methamphetamine, “shatter” (THC concentrate), and two cell phones were seized thanks to the vigilance of staff at the facility’s minimum security unit.
The total institutional value of the seizure is estimated at $384,000.
Officials say CSC is heightening its measures to prevent contraband from entering its institutions in order to help ensure a safe and secure environment for everyone.
