In a recent police operation spanning across Sydney, four individuals have been arrested and charged for their involvement in an alleged magic mushroom ring. At approximately 8:50am yesterday, authorities stopped a car in Sydney Olympic Park and apprehended two men, aged 45 and 30. After further investigation, both men were charged with numerous drug supply offences.
Another arrest was made at around 9:30am yesterday, when a 28-year-old man was taken into custody at a cafe in West Ryde. Like the previous two, he was also charged with drug supply and all three men are scheduled to appear in court today after being denied bail.
Shortly after, at 9:50am, police conducted a search warrant at a location in Pyrmont, where they uncovered a clandestine lab manufacturing psilocybin, or magic mushrooms. This was reported to be the largest such lab ever found in a residential apartment by NSW police. A 45-year-old woman was arrested at the scene and charged with multiple drug supply offences. Like the other suspects, she was also refused bail and will face court today.
In addition to these arrests, police carried out search warrants at several other locations, including Oatlands, Campsie, Epping, Rydalmere, West Ryde, and Pyrmont. During these searches, a significant amount of prohibited drugs, including 100 bags of magic mushrooms, were seized. According to authorities, the group was allegedly responsible for the large-scale distribution of various drugs, such as magic mushrooms, cocaine, and methylamphetamine.
