A 36-year-old North Vancouver man has been charged for allegedly selling marijuana and hallucinogenic mushrooms to teens after an RCMP investigation that centred on a house in the Lower Lonsdale area.

Police raided the house under a search warrant Aug. 8 and seized a quantity of marijuana and psilocybin mushrooms.

Police allege the man was selling to teens between the ages of 13 and 18.

RCMP spokesman Corp. Richard De Jong said the alleged drug dealer was living in the home at the time.

The investigation was prompted by an anonymous tip to Crime Stoppers - which De Jong said could have come from any parent, neighbour or concerned member of the community.

Jeffrey Brian Krantz has been charged with both possession and trafficking of a controlled substance.

He has been released with conditions that include not permitting anyone under 18 to attend his house.
