Wichita police are are touting this month’s big drug bust in northeast Kansas.
WPD officials said Thursday that members of the department’s NIBN Enforcement Team seized several crime-related firearms and upwards of one million suspected fentanyl pills.
The arrests and seizures reportedly took place during a three-day sweep spaced out over the past couple of weeks. The department said that the quantity of fentanyl seized could make the bust the largest of its type on record in the U.S.
Authorities said via social media; “We’ve estimated – based on weight – the number of pills to be somewhere in the area of half a million to a million, which would make this the largest seizure of fentanyl for our agency to date and a record seizure nationwide.”
