More than $34,000 worth of contraband was seized at Bath Institution.
Correctional Service Canada says as a result of assistance from the community and the vigilance of staff members, a package containing contraband was seized on Sunday.
Contraband items seized were worth $34,400 and included drugs, tobacco, cell phones and cell phone accessories.
The Correctional Service of Canada says it is heightening measures to prevent contraband from entering its institutions in order to help ensure a safe and secure environment for everyone.
CSC has set up a telephone tip line for all federal institutions so that it may receive additional information about activities relating to security at CSC institutions.
These activities may be related to drug use or trafficking that may threaten the safety and security of visitors, inmates and staff members working at CSC institutions.
The toll-free number, 1-866-780-3784, helps ensure that the information shared is protected and that callers remain anonymous.
