PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Police have arrested three people and seized more than 41 kilograms or about 90 pounds of fentanyl in court-authorized raids at homes in Providence and Cranston.
State police said Thursday that in addition to fentanyl — a powerful synthetic opioid — members of the State Police High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area Task Force on Wednesday also seized almost 68 grams of cocaine, two ghost guns, five vehicles, and scales and packaging material used in the distribution of illegal drugs.
Two men and a woman were arrested and charged with a variety of drug offenses.
The men also face gun charges.
All three were held without bail.
