Suspected purple fentanyl and crystal meth were seized along with paraphernalia.

“Access to extremely dangerous opioids is not limited to larger cities,” stated the OPP in a news release. “These drugs have infiltrated every corner of our province in some form or another. Purple heroin, known locally as « Purp », is typically a combination of heroin mixed with either fentanyl and/or carfentanil. Fentanyl is 40 times more potent than heroin and carfentanil is 100 times more potent than fentanyl.”

Police advise that anyone who encounters a person who appears to be in a state of overdose should immediately call 911.
