    Yet another good news article for the RCMP.

    "This has a significant impact on the toxic drugs that are in our communities," said Insp. Todd Balaban, operations officer of Coquitlam RCMP, noting that 10,000 potentially lethal doses of fentanyl were seized along with 73 grams of a substance called W18, which is 100 times more potent than fentanyl.

    "It's not something we currently regularly see in the Lower Mainland, so it is concerning for us and we're very pleased to make this kind of seizure of this drug," Balaban said.

    Along with these synthetic opioids, police seized 52 kilograms of methamphetamine, 426 grams of MDMA, and 250 kilograms of ketamine. Dried psilocybin and psilocybin edibles were also confiscated, along with $145,000 in cash and two cars, Mounties said.

    I know, I know. Just another drop in the bucket on the grand scale but stopping anyone with anything from the murder of others is always good news.

    None of the 13 suspects have been identified because charge approval is pending, police said, and all of them have been released from custody.

    Now THIS is something that needs to be fixed. IMO they are potential murderers.

    Our whole bail system seems to reward the really bad guys and punish the not as bad guys.

    The article didn't mention that they are out on bail but if they are then it's bullshit. Regardless, until they are formally charged then they are back in business selling shit to kill people. Just because this stash was seized doesn't mean they don't have access to other shit. With any luck they are being watched closely.

    I was thinking of the eventuality that they will be charged and released back on the street, like so many before them. :(

    Don't sweat it too much. The people they owe for the 10,000 hits will probably take care of things long before the courts ever do.
