After stopping a vehicle that exited I-15 at Mission Road in Fallbrook, a Border Patrol K-9 alerted agents to the vehicle. Agents discovered 22 bundles inside a duffel bag in the backseat, weighing approximately 51.9 pounds. Preliminary testing indicated the substance was fentanyl, and the case was transferred to the DEA for prosecution.
Seizures like this are a reminder of the continued presence of fentanyl in our communities. Keeping naloxone visible, accessible, and ready in the places where people live, work, and gather can help communities be better prepared to respond to an opioid overdose emergency.
