Toledo mushroom bust may be Ohio's biggest

Posted: Updated:
TOLEDO, Ohio -

Toledo's police chief says it could be the largest mushroom growing operation bust in Ohio's history.

Officers raided five homes in Toledo and another in Whitehouse earlier this week. Investigators released evidence photos Thursday showing the 137 pounds of hallucinogenic drugs police seized.

Toledo police tell us those drugs are worth more than $3 million.

Police say they are still investigating just how widespread the operation was.
