The Pennsylvania State Police announced Thursday that troopers confiscated $7,050,174 worth of heroin, fentanyl, cocaine, and other prohibited drugs in the second quarter of 2018.
From April 1 through June 30, state police seized more than 22 pounds of heroin and over 21 pounds of the synthetic opioid fentanyl.

The illegal opioids have a combined street value of $1,008,520.
Troopers also removed nearly 37 pounds of cocaine and over 43 pounds of methamphetamines from the highways and communities of Pennsylvania during the same period.
