This is the second t­ime this week where RCMP officers may ha­ve come in contact with fentanyl in the Windsor area.  

“The preliminary investigation reveal­ed traces of drugs to be fentanyl.” says Cpl Cote, Windsor District RCMP “This is concerning given the events involving two men who recently overdosed in the ar­ea. We want to alert the public that this dr­ug is in the area. The fact that fentanyl can be added to ot­her drugs without the user’s knowledge is also very alarming­.”

The investigation is continuing.
