80 Arrested in Seattle’s Biggest Drug Bust in Recent Memory

Ninety-five pounds of meth, 75 guns and around 12 pounds of fentanyl (and other hard drugs) were confiscated in a drug bust this week.Police arrested 80 people on suspicion of dealing drugs near the Seattle area in one of the biggest busts in recent memory.

Fentanyl, responsible for the deaths of celebrities like Prince, Tom Petty and Lil Peep, is a drug with a rapidly increasing user base.

Twelve pounds of the drug could kill 2.1 million people. This is truly a huge bust, and it needed to happen.

In the Seattle/Bremerton area, mussels in the water have been found to have trace amounts of opiate oxycodone.
