A police drug bust in Phoenix netted more than 1 million fentanyl pills in what city police called the most significant fentanyl seizure in department history.

On Sept. 21, Phoenix police detectives with the Special Assignments Unit executed a warrant to search a home in Avondale, Arizona, during which they found a large stash of drugs.
