FBI Seizes Pink Heart Fentanyl Pills, Arrests Three in $8 Million Drug Bust in Massachusetts

Pills disguised as Valentine's Day candy among seizure amid escalating fentanyl epidemic; three men charged and face up to 20 years in prison and $250,000 fine per charge.

The FBI seized over 220 pounds of drugs, including 8 million doses of fentanyl and methamphetamine laced pills and powder, in a massive bust in Massachusetts.
Among the drugs, 20 pounds of pink, heart-shaped, fentanyl-laced pills designed to look like candy were found, raising concerns over the possible risk to children.
Three men, namely, Emilio Garcia, Sebastien Bejin, and Deiby Felix, were arrested and charged with possession of controlled substances with intent to distribute.
The drugs seized are estimated to have a street value of $8 million, in what is believed to be the largest ever single-location seizure of drugs in New England.
The arrested men face up to 20 years in prison and fines of up to $250,000 for each charge if convicted. They are scheduled to appear in court on November 13.
