A drug deal near a high school in West Oakland was intercepted by a task force that went on to seize fentanyl, heroin and $137,000 in cash.
On Tuesday, a man in a Nissan Altima drove to Myrtle Street right near the campus and got into the passenger side of a Toyota Corolla, hoping to buy some fentanyl.
"There’s no shame, and it’s all for profit. It’s causing people to die," said Alameda County Sheriff Greg Ahern."It’s really alarming to see this amount of fentanyl coming in which could, in fact, poison thousands and thousands of our citizens," Ahern said.There was a bag of multicolored fentanyl known as "arcoiris" or rainbow in Spanish because the fentanyl was dyed with jars of food coloring, to make it even more appealing.
"We’re finding that some of the organized crimes and cartels are lacing the illicit drugs of heroin, methamphetamine and cocaine with the fentanyl to make it more addicting," Ahern said.
