The Whatcom County Sheriff's Office Gang and Drug Task Force (WGDTF) recently made a bust on a "large-scale drug distribution network" in Bellingham. WGDTF was tipped off that the network was running out of a homeless encampment in Bellingham about a month ago. While the encampment was under surveillance, a suspect believed to be involved in running the drug network was pulled over by Oregon State Police during a routine traffic stop in Salem, Ore., on Aug. 29. Troopers found approximately 70,000 suspected fentanyl-laced pills in his car, along with $2,000 in cash. The suspect was arrested and booked in Oregon on charges for the drugs in the vehicle.
