Police say drugs test positive for carfentanil in Woodstock

Woodstock Police are out with a warning, as they say two drug samples have now tested positive for the powerful opioid ‘carfentanil’.

Health Canada determined that substances from two separate seizures in Woodstock contain the deadly drug.

Carfentanil can be lethal — as it’s odourless, tasteless, and 100 times more powerful that fentanyl.

Police are reminding us that opioids like carfentanil and fentanyl can be unknowingly mixed in with other narcotics.

They’re urging everyone to use extreme caution, and anyone that suspects an overdose should call 911 immediately.

Anyone with information regarding the carfentanil is urged to contact Woodstock Police at 519-537-2323 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
