The OPP says officers from the James Bay detachment served a search warrant on Tuesday in Moosonee, a small town near Hudson Bay with no roads in or out and is only accessible by plane or train.

Investigators found several suspected drugs during the search including fentanyl, crystal methamphetamine, cocaine, psilocybin (also known as magic mushrooms) and cannabis worth approximately $110,000, police say.
