A London, Ont., man is facing charges after police raided a magic mushroom shop in St. Thomas Thursday, seizing thousand of dollars worth of psilocybin.
St. Thomas police say they received multiple community complaints starting on Tuesday regarding a “newly opened” Fun Guyz on Talbot Street.
Executing a search warrant Thursday, police say the street crimes unit arrested one man and seized various psilocybin strains.
“Psilocybin remains a classified substance under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act,” St. Thomas Police said in a statement.
Police say 7,150 grams of psilocybin was seized with an estimated street value of $71,504.
A 38-year-old London resident faces one count of possession of a scheduled substance for the purpose of trafficking. He taken to police headquarters and processed for a future court date.
St. Thomas is just the latest city in Ontario and Quebec to have a Fun Guyz open. A location opened in London in early May, and a Montreal shop was raided last month.
