Officers obtained a search warrant for the property on Mar. 27.

“Due to the hazardous nature of the property, the RCMP Federal Clandestine Laboratory Enforcement and Response (CLEAR) team and Forensic Identification Section (FIS) were mobilized to assist, mitigate, and disassemble the lab,” said Corp. Alex Bérubé.
