The Alameda County Sheriff’s Office (ACSO) has seized a massive quantity of the deadly opioid fentanyl—enough to kill millions of U.S. citizens.

“ACSO detectives and their partners at the Narcotics Task Force recovered 92.5 pounds of illicit fentanyl at locations in Oakland and Hayward. That’s 42,000 grams that were headed for the streets of the Bay Area. This is a glimpse of the fentanyl epidemic,” the office wrote in an April 23 Twitter post.
