Overview
- Two people, including a child, found two grocery bags in woods off Miles Road near Claymont’s Radnor Green neighborhood on Sunday.
- After a family member called for help, New Castle County officers collected the bags and lab tests confirmed the contents were fentanyl.
- Police counted 14,088 small bags packaged inside two large units known as bricks, a format commonly used for street distribution.
- The New Castle County Division of Police asked anyone with information or missing a large quantity of fentanyl to call 302-573-2800 or dial 911.
- Fentanyl’s extreme potency makes unattended caches a public hazard, and a find like this can help police trace local trafficking or dumping patterns.
