Feds Seize Massive Drug Haul in Massachusetts, Including Heart-Shaped Candy Pills

Law enforcement in Massachusetts seized 10 million doses of illegal drugs, including powdered fentanyl and heart-shaped pills containing fentanyl and methamphetamine. The drugs, worth an estimated $8 million, were found during an investigation into an overdose death. Three men were arrested and charged with various crimes related to drug possession and distribution. The seizure is believed to be one of the largest single-location drug busts in New England. Authorities are increasingly targeting drug cartels in Mexico and chemical companies in China that produce fentanyl and its precursors. The men charged in Massachusetts are set to appear in federal court on November 13.
