An estimated 54,000 fentanyl pills are no longer on the streets in Appleton.
The Lake Winnebago Area Metropolitan Enforcement Group announced that an investigation this past week resulted in the 12 pounds of fentanyl, worth over $500,000, being located.
While the exact nature of the seizure was not released, we do know that two people were arrested as a result, and a firearm was taken as well.
This is the largest such seizure in LWAM history, which even caught the attention of Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul.
He praised the work of the organization, noting, “Fentanyl is incredibly dangerous and has fueled the recent rise in overdose deaths in Wisconsin.”
