Law enforcement warns of fake pain pills being found in North Country

Posted

Local law enforcement in Clinton County have been investigating the origins of counterfeit oxycodone pain medications that have found their way to the North Country, said a recent announcement from the state police.

The markings on these blue pills contain an “M” and a “30.” Investigators believe the counterfeit pills contain compressed fentanyl.

Deadly even in minute quantities, fentanyl has recently killed people in the North Country.

The public in the North Country is urged to be careful and not take any prescription medication that is not prescribed by a doctor or originate from a pharmacy.

Any information or reports of these pills can be made to any local law enforcement agency, troopers said.
