RCMP officers searched a condo in Saint-Hubert on Montreal's South Shore on Monday in connection with a letter that was mailed to the White House and tested positive for the poison ricin.

Law enforcement cordoned off a lengthy stretch of a street lined by condo buildings in the suburban municipality. Local police and ambulance services were also at the scene.

Charles Poirier, spokesperson for the Quebec division of the RCMP, said a team of officers with expertise in handling chemicals and explosives is leading the search and neighboring residences in the building have been evacuated.

"The RCMP is assisting the FBI in this investigation," he said.

Poirier said there's a link between a woman suspected of sending the ricin-laced envelope and the residence being searched.

The woman suspected of sending the envelope who was arrested over the weekend at the Peace Bridge border crossing between Fort Erie, Ont., and Buffalo, N.Y., has been identified as Pascale Ferrier, according to U.S. court records provided to CBC News.
