Canada's Correctional Service says officials recently seized 70-thousand-dollars' worth of cannabis from outside a federal prison in B-C's Fraser Valley.
The service says it happened last Thursday along the perimeter of the medium-security Mountain Institution outside Agassiz, northeast of Chilliwack.
It says the vigilance of staff at the institution led to the seizure of several packages containing contraband items, including cannabis concentrates.
The service says in a statement that police have been notified and the institution is investigating the incident.
