WINSLOW, Maine — Police in the central Maine town of Winslow on Wednesday said they seized a massive fentanyl shipment worth $2 million.
A resident in the town called police on Friday and said they received a package from California, according to police.
"The resident advised that they had not ordered anything nor were they expecting any delivery," police said in a statement. "The package was subsequently opened, and multiple bags of pills were discovered inside."
Police said the pills presumptively tested positive for fentanyl. A second package containing more pills was delivered Saturday and the total weight of the packages was about 29.5 pounds. Police said the pills can sell for as much as $60 apiece.
Police said their investigation is ongoing and no further information is available on the case as of Wednesday afternoon.
Police also provided this photo they said shows the packages the pills were delivered in:
