Beaver Creek Institution Provides Update On Seized Items Worth $563,950

On November 22, 2021, as a result of the vigilance of staff members, two packages containing contraband and unauthorized items were seized at Beaver Creek Institution, a multi-security facility.

As a result, Bracebridge OPP investigated and recovered several more packages near the institution.

The seized items included tobacco, drugs, cell phones, cell phone accessories, and cutting weapons. The total estimated institutional value of this seizure is $563,950.

The Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) uses a number of tools to prevent drugs from entering its institutions. These tools include ion scanners and detector dogs to search buildings, personal property, inmates and visitors. CSC has measures in place to prevent contraband and unauthorized items from entering its institutions in order to help  ensure a safe and secure environment for everyone. CSC also works in partnership with the police to take action against those who attempt to introduce contraband or unauthorized items into correctional institutions.

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.
