$1,870 in Canadian currency
Two digital scales

A gold watch
The suspect was charged in 2024 with several counts of drug possession for the purpose of trafficking and unauthorized possession of a prohibited or restricted firearm, according to CK police.
The total estimated street value of the illegal drugs is approximately $189,544, said police.
According to police, the woman wanted on an arrest warrant for failing to attend court in September turned herself in to police on Monday.
