Written by AARON CASTREJON CityWatch Editor PASADENA - Detectives with the Pasadena Police Department’s Major Narcotics/Special Investigations Section seized 328,000 fentanyl pills, two kilos of cocaine and seized an un-serialized “ghost gun” during a narcotics investigation September 24.
The contraband was discovered as part of an ongoing narcotics investigation, according to the Pasadena Police Department. Detectives discovered within the seized contraband several packages of what was described as candy-colored fentanyl pills. “This candy-colored fentanyl, dubbed “rainbow fentanyl” in the media, appears to be a new method used by drug cartels to sell highly addictive and potentially deadly fentanyl to children and young people,” according to the Pasadena Police Department. So far this year, Pasadena narcotics investigators, with the assistance of local and federal agencies, seized approximately 708,500 fentanyl pills in nearly 32 kilos of fentanyl, according to the Pasadena Police Department. “The Pasadena Police Department urges community members to call 911 immediately if they encounter fentanyl in any form, and we urge parents to be especially careful with the candy their children bring home during the upcoming Halloween festivities,” according to the Pasadena Police Department. |
