Last week, authorities in Portland, Oregon, conducted the largest fentanyl bust in the history of the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office, confiscating a significant quantity of pills and powder.
In the Goose Hollow neighborhood of Portland, deputies seized gallon-sized plastic bags containing 58,000 fentanyl pills and 16 pounds of fentanyl powder, according to a press release from the law enforcement agency. Additionally, they discovered scales, a manual-operated pill press, a commercial-grade pill press, $5,000 in cash, and a stolen handgun, which was identified through its serial number as reported stolen.
The estimated street value of the fentanyl pills and powder is between $320,000 and $400,000, as evaluated by the sheriff’s office. This substantial seizure marks a significant step in the ongoing efforts to combat illegal drug trafficking in the area.
