The Philadelphia Police Department has made 21 arrests in conjunction with an ongoing narcotics investigation that our department has been working for the last several months. Arrest range from Sale of Controlled substance, Possession of controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, and Conspiracy to commit a crime(narcotics) . Most of the narcotics targeted in this operation have caused many deaths and led to many other crimes not only in the city of Philadelphia but also the county as a whole. We have encountered many cases and narcotics that contain Fentanyl which has been fatal in some investigations that we have faced. For drug users to purchase what they think is methamphetamine or pain killers could possibly be Fentanyl and are unaware of what they are actually purchasing and consuming. Narcotics charged and found during this investigation include: Methamphetamine, Fentanyl, Heroin, Cocaine, and Marijuana.
