Three men and a woman were arrested in a multi-location operation in East Oakland on Tuesday, according to the Alameda County Sheriff's Office.

A total of 28 kilos of fentanyl and $155,000 in cash were allegedly seized by operatives from the Sheriff's Office and California Department of Justice.

Authorities said the seized fentanyl could fetch a wholesale value of over $700,000.

The suspects were booked into Santa Rita Jail on suspicion of conspiracy, possession for sale, and a new weight enhancement recently passed to add penalties for trafficking fentanyl.
