DEA Seizes $1 Million Worth Of Heroin, Fentanyl Labeled 'Coronavirus'

DEA agents brought down an alleged drug ring in New York City and found drugs in envelopes stamped with the word 'coronavirus.'

According to Business Insider, the Drug Enforcement Administration said other labels included a Kobe Bryant reference, 'Hiroshima,' and 'Isis.'

The drugs found in the alleged trafficking operation are believed to be related to overdose deaths throughout New York and New Jersey.

However, the DEA says those deaths have not been connected to directly to the seized operations.

There is no place in our city for illegal narcotics that undermine public safety and threaten lives.
