Fox News
DEA New York announced its largest fentanyl seizure to date after 15,000 candy-colored pills were found inside a LEGO box carried by a New Jersey woman for distribution in Manhattan.
This case represents a broader problem of Mexican cartels’ "most recent tactics to attract the public while deceiving them about the lethal drugs," according to DEA New York Division. "The Sinaloa Cartel and Jalisco New Generation Cartel are mass-producing fentanyl pills in rainbow colors to not only brand their products, but use colors and dyes to mimic candy and/or legitimate prescription drugs."
