Hey there, time traveller!

A 35-year-old man from Wadena, Minnesota, has been charged with a series of drug charges after a border bust uncovered a portable meth lab.
The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) said in an email that officers at the Sprague border crossing seized a portable methamphetamine laboratory from a traveller’s vehicle on June 4.
During a secondary search of the vehicle, CBSA officers seized the vehicle and its contents, which included a backpack containing materials for a suspected methamphetamine production laboratory. Officers also seized 85 grams of suspected methamphetamine in a plastic bottle.
The suspect and the evidence were turned over to the RCMP. The RCMP Clandestine Lab Enforcement and Response Team, as well as the Office of the Fire Commissioner and local fire department, dismantled the lab and rendered the scene secure for further investigation.
The suspect is charged with production of methamphetamine, importing/exporting methamphetamine and possession for the purpose of trafficking. He remains in custody at this time. The investigation is ongoing.
