RNC Warning Public of Presence of Fentanyl in Illicit Drugs

The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary is warning the public of the presence of fentanyl in the community.

Police have received information related to the presence of fentanyl in illicit drugs in the province, specifically cocaine. The RNC has concerns for the safety of anyone who ingests or encounters illicit drugs, and warns of the life threatening consequences of ingesting fentanyl. A miniscule amount of this opioid substance could be a potentially fatal dose.

If you or someone you know is using illicit drugs, please ensure there is a naloxone kit close by.
