Mounties seized a massive amount of marijuana and magic mushrooms Monday during a weapons raid of a rural property in Greenwood, B.C.
The search warrant was executed by RCMP resources from across the Southern Interior in addition to the national weapons enforcement unit, and was aimed at seizing firearms from a property on Lind Creek Road.
“As a result, nine firearms were seized including a prohibited firearm and are being processed for forensic evidence as well as eight garbage bags containing psilocybin mushrooms and two plastic containers containing marijuana were seized,” RCMP said in a press release.
