(KRON) — The Gilroy Police Department said several smoke shops in Gilroy were busted for selling prohibited products, such as flavored tobacco and “magic mushrooms” — psilocybin mushroom-based items.

GPD said investigators conducted searches at four businesses and uncovered “a significant quantity” of the illegal goods (pictured below).

Gilroy police said the targeted enforcement operation was in collaboration with the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA).

The following businesses were cited for violations, according to police:

• Cloudz Smoke Shop, 8395 Forest Street
