Drug package including ‘shatter’ seized at Atlantic Institution in New Brunswick
RENOUS, N.B. — A package of drugs that included a marijuana concentrate known as shatter has been seized at the federal Atlantic Institution prison in New Brunswick.
A news release from the jail says the contraband seized included just over 27 grams of the potent form of cannabis, which sometimes looks like a sheet of maple syrup or thin toffee on wax paper.
The Correctional Service of Canada says it has been heightening its measures to stop contraband from entering the high-security jail.
It says the tools include ion scanners and drug-detector dogs to search buildings, personal property, inmates and visitors.
