(Fargo, ND) A major concern being brought to light by Fargo Police involving increased use of a deadly drug in pill form.
Over the past year, FPD has seen an increase in the use of M30 Fentanyl pills, which are typically small round blue pills with an ”M” imprinted on one side and a “30” imprinted on the other. The exact number of overdoeses due to the pills is not directly known.
The Fargo Police Narcotics Unit, along with the Cass County Drug Task Force, seized a large amount of M30 Fentanyl pills during their investigations in 2020. The pills have proved to be extremely dangerous due to the potency of Fentanyl, and there have been several cases where the pills were marketed for sale on the street as Oxycodone. The deadly turn is that the user did not realize the pills contained Fentanyl.
