Seizure of Contraband and Unauthorized Items at Warkworth Institution
On May 27, 2025, as a result of the vigilance of staff members, a package containing contraband was seized at Warkworth Institution, a medium security federal institution.
The contraband seized included tobacco and marijuana. The total estimated institutional value of these seizures is $52,860.
The Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) has heightened measures to prevent contraband 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.
