DEA seizes nearly 1 million fake pills containing fentanyl from Inglewood home; many of the pills were made to look like prescription medications like Oxycontin or Xanax
LOS ANGELES -- Roughly 1 million counterfeit pills containing fentanyl were seized earlier this month in Inglewood, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration announced Thursday.
According to the DEA, the probe targeted a Los Angeles-area drug trafficking organization believed to be linked to the Sinaloa Cartel. The fake pills were intended for retail distribution, and have an estimated street sale value of $15 million to $20 million, the DEA reported. "The deceptive marketing coupled with the ease of accessibility makes these small and seemingly innocuous pills a significant threat to the health and safety of all our communities," Bodner said."A staggering number of teens and young adults are unaware that they are ingesting fentanyl in these fake pills and are being poisoned."
