Two youths sustained minor burns and are under investigation for drug-related charges after an explosion occurred in a trailer court.

The blast drew members of the Coombs/Hilliers volunteer fire department and Oceanside RCMP Thursday evening to a trailer on Shawn Road.

The youths reported they were using butane fuel to make cannabis oil when the blast occurred.

This is the second explosion in less than two months in the area, said Cpl. Jesse Foreman of Oceanside RCMP.

Both blasts were related to the production of illegal drugs, Foreman said.
