Sheriff Weekly and DEA Announce Largest Fentanyl Seizure in Colorado History

On November 11th, a citizen who legally purchased a storage unit at an auction made a shocking discovery. When they opened the unit, they found multiple items that appeared to be illegal narcotics and immediately notified the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies and Narcotics Detectives responded to the storage facility and quickly identified a massive quantity of kilogram-sized packages and M-30 pills, counterfeit pills containing fentanyl.

After testing, investigators confirmed the following seizure:
•198 kilograms of counterfeit fentanyl pills, approximately 1.7 million pills
•12 kilograms of fentanyl powder
•2.5 pounds of methamphetamine

This is now officially the largest fentanyl seizure in Colorado history.

The original owner of the storage unit had been taken into custody by the DEA in April, which resulted in the unit going unpaid and eventually being auctioned off.

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office cannot thank the citizen enough who did the right thing by reporting the discovery. We would also like to thank DEA and CBI for their quick response and assistance with this seizure.

We are extremely proud of our deputies and detectives for their swift and professional response. Because of their actions and the cooperation of our community, a massive quantity of dangerous narcotics has been removed from our streets and our county.

“I want to thank the citizen who reported this discovery, the storage facility staff for their cooperation, and the deputies who responded quickly and professionally. Let me send a strong and unmistakable message: fentanyl and illegal narcotics will not be tolerated in Douglas County. Our deputies, detectives, and crime lab professionals are committed to keeping this community safe, and we will remain relentless in that mission.” - Sheriff Darren Weekly
