Fentanyl-laced pills masquerading as sweet little pink candy hearts were among the 10 million doses of controlled substances recently seized by agents in the FBI Boston Field Office’s North Shore Gang Task Force. Close up, the heart-shaped drugs look like candy conversation hearts commonly seen around Valentine’s Day, investigators said.
Three men from Lynn, Massachusetts, were arrested on Nov. 1 in connection with the seizure, after agents conducted searches at four Lynn locations and found more than $8 million worth of drugs.
