Thirty charges of trafficking in a controlled substance have been laid against 19 people.
“When Undercover Operators purchased what they believed to be heroin it was later found to contain heroin, fentanyl and mixtures of both which greatly increases the potency of an already highly toxic and dangerous drug. This reinforces what has been widely known and reported – persons using illicit drugs do so without knowing what the drug actually contains and as a result put themselves, and potentially others, at significant risk,” states a RCMP news release.
