Description
The King County Sheriff’s Office and Shoreline Police Department seized nearly 300,000 fentanyl pills during a multi-agency operation on Aug. 3.
The seizure was part of Operation Jade and is one of the largest drug seizures for the King County Sheriff's Office to date.
"This is very significant," Shoreline Police Chief Kelly Park said. "This case saved many many lives and this case is in the top 5 King County Sheriff's Office busts for fentanyl."
According to the King County Sheriff’s Office, the operation seized 290,000 fentanyl pills, 9.5 pounds of fentanyl powder, 5.7 pounds of heroin, a pound of cocaine, more than $52,000 in cash and one stolen firearm. It was a significant bust -- but Undersheriff Jesse Anderson says it's just part of the puzzle.
