"Rainbow fentanyl" pills found inside Lego container in New York, authorities say

Authorities found thousands of rainbow-colored fentanyl pills hidden inside a Lego box, the Drug Enforcement Administration announced this week. The nighttime bust occurred in Manhattan last week, leading to the arrest of a New Jersey woman. 

"Rainbow fentanyl is a clear and present danger, and it is here in New York City," DEA Special Agent in Charge Frank Tarentino said a press release.

Officials called it the biggest such seizure to date in New York City, and said the drugs were meant for widespread distribution. Federal agents are working to crack down on violent drug cartels in Mexico believed to be trafficking the drugs into the U.S.
