An investigation is underway after a number of contraband items were seized from a local correctional facility.
Assistant Warden at Joyceville Institution Lorrie Oddie says tobacco, strips of fentanyl, suboxone and methamphetamine were found in a package, that a visitor was trying to bring inside earlier this week.
The Joint Forces Penitentiary Squad is now looking into the case.
Oddie says the Correctional Service of Canada uses a number of tools to prevent drugs from getting inside its facilities and have even set up an anonymous phone line for tips.
If you have information about someone smuggling drugs into a CSC facility, you can call 1-866-780-3784.
