Capt.

Authorities said the search warrant resulted in the seizure of a fully loaded 9 mm P80 privately manufactured firearm (ghost gun), a fully loaded 9 mm Beretta firearm, a fully loaded 50-round magazine drum, hollow-point ammunition, 10 ounces of Psilocybin mushrooms, 10 grams of LSD, more than $10,000 in cash, a money counter, scales and drug paraphernalia. 

Detective Keith Lyons of the Northfield Police Department initiated the investigation.
