GRAVENHURST, ON-The Lockdown at Beaver Creek Institution has ended after staff finished conducting their search.
Michelle Lucas from the institution told the MyMuskokaNow.com newsroom that the lockdown in the medium-security unit on March 4th started when an inmate was assaulted and prompted staff to search for contraband.
During the search, a number of prohibited items were found.
Correctional Service Canada (CSC) said that it is strengthening measures to prevent the entry of contraband into its institutions in order to ensure a safe and secure environment for everyone.
Normal operations have resumed and visits are allowed.
