Windsor police officers say they charged one person and seized $23,190 in illegal drugs from a downtown magic mushroom store.

Members of the Drugs and Guns Unit (DIGS) executed a search warrant on Jan. 10 at 11a.m. at the psilocybin dispensary, also known as ‘FunGuyz’, located in the 300 block of Ouellette Avenue.

During the search, officers located and seized the following:

• 1789 grams of dried psilocybin
• 1640 caps of psilocybin
• 6 psilocybin vape pens
• $150 in Canadian currency

A 35-year-old employee on scene at the time has been charged with possession of a controlled substance for the purposes of trafficking.

Since July 2023, officers have executed five search warrants at this storefront location, seizing over $163,000 worth of psilocybin-infused products.

This remains an ongoing investigation. Anyone with information is asked to call the Windsor Police DIGS Unit at 519-255-6700, ext. 4361. They can also contact Windsor & Essex County Crime Stoppers anonymously at 519-258-8477 (TIPS) or online at www.catchcrooks.com.
