US Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) has announced their largest ever seizure of the synthetic opioid drug fentanyl.

Agents on Saturday found 254 lbs (114kg) of fentanyl, as well as 395 lbs of methamphetamine in a lorry at an official US-Mexico border crossing.

A "false floor" was found in the produce truck, said Michael Humphries, who commands the Nogales checkpoint on the Arizona-Mexico border.

The lorry's Mexican driver has been arrested and charged with drug dealing.



According to Mr Humphries, the cargo of fentanyl had an approximate black market value of $3.5m (£2.6m)
and is considered so deadly that even a few salt-sized grains of it could kill a person.

According to the US Centers for Disease Control, fentanyl is the drug most involved in fatal overdoses around the country,
accounting for around 18,000 deaths in 2016.

Awful, looks like something must be done and done fast?

There was a brief period of multiple Fentanyl-related OD's in the lovely town I work in, a year or so ago I think. We saw at least three bodies being taken out of the "dodgy flats" across from the shop, and heard of a couple of other deaths. There was also one guy that was found lying on the benches across the street and everyone INSISTED he had died (or was already dead when found) as there was police tape everywhere... a few weeks passed, and then he walked in looking to collect a football coupon. So that was a bit of a surprise.
