RCMP in the North Okanagan discovered a magic mushroom operation growing on a 71-year-old man's property.
A North Okanagan senior was busted with 15 kilograms of magic mushrooms on Monday. "On April 3, officers from the Vernon/ North Okanagan RCMP detachment conducted a search of an outbuilding on a residential property located in the 4500 block of Hallam Road in Armstrong," says RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. " What they found was a different kind of grow operation. They discovered an active psilocybin mushroom growing operation instead of the marijuana type operation they normally see," says Molendyk. A search resulted in the seizure of approximately 15 kilograms of mushrooms. "A quantity of the mushrooms were being dried and a large quantity of others were still growing." Molendyk says the 71-year-old male resident of the property was detained while the officers conducted the investigation.
No charges have been laid yet and the file is still actively being investigated.
