More than 40 grams of meth was recovered by Selkirk RCMP Monday morning when they discovered a prisoner had smuggled two balloons of drugs inside his body.
Police said the 21-year-old Winnipeg man was awaiting transfer at the Selkirk detachment’s cell block, when he began having medical difficulties.
The man was taken to hospital after he was able to get one balloon out, but the second “became lodged”.
