The Michigan State Police said its Metro Narcotics Enforcement Team (MNET) worked with the Taylor Police Department and the Drug Enforcement Agency's Detroit Division on an investigation of someone bringing pressed fentanyl pills to sell in Metro Detroit.
The officers confiscated over 3 kilograms of the illegal narcotics, more than 28,500 pressed fentanyl pills that were created to look like prescription oxycodone 30 mg pills.
State police said there are multiple suspects in custody, pending review by the Wayne County prosecutor's office.
