Detectives with the New York Police Department (NYPD) found more bags of fentanyl hidden inside the Bronx daycare where a 1-year-old boy died and others were hospitalized after allegedly being exposed to narcotics.

Law enforcement officials were executing a search warrant at Divino Nino Day Care, located in Kingsbridge Heights Community in the Bronx, on Sept. 21 when they found the fentanyl along with other narcotics, and drug paraphernalia stashed beneath a trap door in the children’s play area, police said.
