Fentanyl pills being sold as Oxycodone
*

Area police departments are currently conducting investigations into the sales of pills that are being sold illegally on the street as the prescription drug Oxycodone but have been found to be made of Fentanyl.

This dangerous drug is being sold to buyers who presume the pills, which are accurately formed and marked with the designation A/215, are Oxycodone 300 mg tablets.

Anyone who ingests these Fentanyl pills may put themselves in serious danger of overdosing which can result in death.

The Boston Regional Intelligence Center (BRIC) is aware of similar incidents in other parts of the U.S. This is the first documented incident of this kind in Boston.

The Boston Police Department is actively investigating the facts and circumstances surrounding this incident. Anyone with information is strongly urged to contact Boston Police Drug Control Unit at (617) 343-5625.
