When they inspected those candles, they say they discovered nearly 2.5 pounds of fentanyl stuffed inside. "The fentanyl seized was 73% pure, and capable of causing considerable overdoses in our community," said Director of CPB's New York Field Operations Francis J. Russo.
The CPB turned the man over to the NYPD, and says he is an American citizen who flew into JFK from Mexico City.
