Police in Baltimore served a search and seizure warrant Tuesday on a corner discount store and discovered more than they bargained for: Fentanyl and plenty of the highly potent opioid.
In fact, so much of the highly addictive substance was uncovered, a hazmat team was called to help secure the scene.
Unsure what exactly is going on. Guys in hazmat suits just came out of the store with some sort of detector in hand and are now being helped out of their suits. Police huddling near entrance. pic.twitter.com/Ssye1b4XZ2

Breaking: Police tell me officers executed a search and seizure warrant here, found what they suspect is a “substantial amount” of the highly-potent opioid fentanyl, called in hazmat as a precaution to handle the drugs. pic.twitter.com/el6e5gw8Nn

Police seem to be the agency at the center of this. There are lots of police officers here and they keep going in and out of the store. Here’s a group of them being briefed by a fire official in white. pic.twitter.com/1Xmow1rtAV

More hazmat apparatus/officials arriving even as others seem to be packing up. pic.twitter.com/0KfWJ0WsKa
