These fake pills looked like real M30 pills, which are painkillers, but they were laced with fentanyl, making them extremely dangerous. On top of all that, the police found other illegal drugs and even a stolen gun with Tran.
This police action is a big win in the fight against drugs. By stopping this suspected drug ring, the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office (VCSO) might have saved countless lives from the dangers of these addictive and deadly substances. Tran is now facing serious charges for selling drugs and having a stolen gun.
