LETHBRIDGE, AB – The Lethbridge Police Service is warning the public after suspected fentanyl, shaped to look like a candy bear, was found in Galt Gardens.
Police said on June 20, 2023, a member of the Downtown Policing Unit located a bag at Galt Gardens. It allegedly contained a small quantity of suspected fentanyl, coloured greenish-blue in the shape of a bear.
The LPS said the container also included suspected fentanyl pieces in other colours.
Sgt. Ryan Darroch with the Downtown Policing Unit said, “Disguising fentanyl to look like a piece of candy is a significant safety concern given the potential it could be mistaken for something less deadly.”
