HARRISBURG – The Pennsylvania State Police announced Monday that troopers confiscated $16,982,054 worth of cocaine, methamphetamines, heroin, fentanyl and other prohibited drugs in the fourth quarter of 2018.

From Oct. 1 through Dec. 31, state police seized nearly 224 pounds of cocaine and 26 pounds of heroin. Troopers also confiscated almost 50 pounds of fentanyl.

In its purest form, even a small amount of fentanyl can cause a severe and potentially deadly reaction, putting users, people close to them and first responders at risk. The illegal opioids have a combined street value of $1,498,430.

In 2018, The Pennsylvania State Police removed over $66 million in prohibited drugs from the highways and communities of the commonwealth, including 197 pounds of heroin and fentanyl.
