The RCMP have dismantled a clandestine laboratory east of Montreal suspected of manufacturing hundreds of thousands of counterfeit pills thought to contain protonitazepyne, a synthetic opioid approximately 25 times more potent than fentanyl.
Four people were arrested and “several hundred thousand counterfeit pills” were seized after a home in Drummondville, Que. was searched Aug. 1, the RCMP said in a press release.
