14 million doses of fentanyl seized from secret drug lab in Mexico
Mexico's government said Thursday it had seized 14 million doses of fentanyl, the latest major haul in a drive to stem the flow of the powerful opioid into the United States.
The Public Security ministry said the drugs were found during raids on a clandestine drug laboratory and warehouse in the municipality of Villa de Alvarez in violence-hit western Colima state.
At the warehouse, police found "approximately 270 kilograms of a substance with characteristics similar to fentanyl, both in powder and pill form," which the ministry said was equivalent to about 14 million doses.
It said six people were arrested but did not say when the operation took place nor give the estimated street value of the drugs.
