RCMP in northern Manitoba are cautioning two communities there may be fentanyl-laced drugs circulating in their area.
Mounties say the illicit pills with a greenish tinge resembling oxycodone tablets, locally known as “green beans,” could be making the rounds in Oxford House and Shamattawa.
Police say they believe the potent drug is behind one death and several overdoses spanning the last three days.
They’re asking people living in these communities to safely dispose of them right away.
