Mounties in North Vancouver say officers arrested four people and seized large amounts of illicit marijuana and psilocybin -- also known as magic mushrooms --following a report of a kidnapping at a warehouse earlier this week.
The R-C-M-P say they received a report that a man was being held at the warehouse after being kidnapped at gunpoint Tuesday afternoon.
They say the warehouse appeared to have been the site of a drug-trafficking lab where drugs were stored and packaged to be shipped and sold on the streets -- but the investigation so far hasn't yielded any evidence pointing to a kidnapping.
A statement from Constable Mansoor Sahak says police believe the kidnapping report was a so-called "false flag" aimed at targeting the lab.
