During a traffic stop, a dog detects $2 million worth of fentanyl, enough to kill 48 million people.

According to officials, a police dog assisted border patrol agents in sniffing out $2 million worth of smuggled fentanyl during a traffic stop in Arizona, USA, last week.


Yuma Sector Chief Patrol Agent Patricia McGurk-Daniel tweeted about the seizure at a checkpoint along I-8 near Yuma.

 

“The narcotics totaled more than 192 pounds, enough to kill 48 million people,” McGurk-Daniel wrote.

 

The amount of fentanyl seized during the traffic stop was more than the total amount of fentanyl seized during the entirety of Fiscal Year 2022 in the Yuma Sector, according to public US Customs and Border Protections statistics.

 

McGurk-Daniel shared photos that show packets of the deadly drug apparently hidden inside car seats.

Another photo showed the dog in front of the vehicle after the seats were opened and searched.

 

Fentanyl was also found hidden inside the gas tank of the car, according to  reports.
