The Owen Sound Police Service is investigating after the discovery of a possible synthetic drug lab.
On September 21, an inspection conducted by the Owen Sound Fire Department resulted in the discovery of a suspected synthetic drug production operation in a downtown Owen Sound apartment. Members of the Owen Sound Police Service Drug Enforcement Unit were notified of the discovery and a search warrant was obtained to further investigate.
A number of items were seized during the search, including glassware, chemicals and powder-like substances that are indicative of small-scale methamphetamine production.
Police are awaiting the test results of the substances by Health Canada prior to deciding on potential charges related to the incident. The apartment complex was evacuated for a short time to ensure the safety of all occupants.
