18+lbs of Marihuana Seized on Hwy
From the Editor: Sometimes I get emails asking how stories from other parts of Northwestern Ontario affect the Northshore…I’m incuding this release from Kenora OPP because though there is no way to establish for certain whether these drugs would’ve travelled to the Northshore, we can be certain that now that now that OPP have seized the more than 18lbs of Marihuana it WILL NOT MAKE IT TO NORTHSHORE STREETS!
