Red Deer RCMP are trying to track down the owner of a brick of ketamine found in the back seat of a taxi last Saturday.
The cabbie turned over the ketamine to police after finding it around 2 p.m.
RCMP seized the package, which weighed almost about 0.72 kg. Preliminary testing with the RCMP’s ion scanner determined the drug was ketamine.
Ketamine, or Special K as it is often called on the streets, is a hallucinogen that creates trance-like states and is sometimes used as a date rape drug.
