A New Jersey woman was arrested after authorities in New York discovered 15,000 pills of "rainbow fentanyl" stuffed inside a Lego box.
New York state drug authorities were investigating suspected drug trafficking Sept. 28 when they observed 48-year-old Latesha Bush of Trenton, New Jersey, carrying a black tote bag wrapped around a large object as she entered a vehicle in Manhattan, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration said Tuesday.
Officials said officers stopped the vehicle and found Bush with two black tote bags and a Lego container in the back seat. Inside the container were brick-shaped packages covered in black type next to Lego blocks. Authorities said one of the packages was partially opened, revealing the rainbow-colored pills.
Preliminary testing indicated the pills contained fentanyl. Further investigation revealed Bush had traveled from New Jersey in a rental car, and the pills allegedly came from Mexico, authorities said. The pills were imprinted with a "M" and "30" to resemble Oxycodone pills.
