WINNIPEG — Stony Mountain Institution officers seized about $103,000 worth of banned items, including THC concentrate, on Sept. 2, the Correctional Service of Canada says.
The federal department credited “vigilance” of staff members, but did not explain how the packages were discovered or delivered to the prison. Police were notified.
Officers intercepted $1.8 million worth of THC concentrate and other banned items in packages on Aug. 30.
The Union of Canadian Correctional Officers told the Winnipeg Free Press that staff spotted a drone delivering the packages that day.
CSC recently said a pilot program to halt drones using jamming technology is being expanded. The department did not identify the prisons that are or will be using the technology.
