Police officers seized a large amount of drugs in San Francisco on Friday.

运输包括methampheta 2774。9克mine, more than six pounds, 525 grams of fentanyl (18.5 ounces) and “several other narcotics from the arrested subject,” according toa tweetfrom the San Francisco Police Department’s Tenderloin Station.

On Twitter, other users replied by commending the department and thanking officers.

“Keep it up boys and girls in blue,” said Twitter user @fotomarcos.

A department spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for further information.

The Tenderloin neighborhood is ground zero for San Francisco’s drug overdose crisis, which is driven by the widespread availability of fentanyl and claimed more lives during the pandemic than COVID-19. In the first three months of 2023, 200 people died of accidental drug overdoses, a roughly40% increasefrom the number of deaths during the same period last year.
