The Alameda County Sheriff’s Office reported that three males and a woman were taken into custody after a multi-location investigation in East Oakland on Tuesday.
Agents from the California Department of Justice and the Sheriff’s Office allegedly confiscated $155,000 in cash and 28 kilograms of fentanyl.
The confiscated fentanyl, according to authorities, could sell for more over $700,000 at wholesale.
A new weight enhancement that was recently established to add penalties for fentanyl trafficking led to the suspects being booked into Santa Rita Jail on suspicion of conspiracy and possession for sale.
