Note the MSM, cops, and DEA all seem to be trying to claim the government found this shit, when it was a happenstance find by a guy who bought a storage unit at auction and found this cache inside.

Foxnews.com: Colorado authorities find 1.7M counterfeit fentanyl pills in auctioned-off storage unit: ‘Shocking discovery’

Greg Norman By Greg Norman Fox News
Published November 18, 2025 1:35pm EST | Updated November 18, 2025 1:36pm EST

Authorities in Colorado announced the "shocking discovery" of 1.7 million counterfeit fentanyl pills in an auctioned-off storage unit — the largest drug bust of its kind in state history.

The Douglas County Sheriff's Office said the record-breaking seizure happened on Nov. 11 in the Denver suburb of Highlands Ranch after the winning bidder opened up the unit, "found multiple items that appeared to be illegal narcotics" and "immediately notified" deputies.

"This played out like an episode of a TV show, where a winning bidder legally bought a storage unit and unbeknownst to them, the unit contained 1.7 million counterfeit fentanyl pills and another 12 kilograms of fentanyl powder," Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Rocky Mountain Field Division Special Agent in Charge David Oleskysaid in a statement. "There is no doubt many lives have been saved by keeping these poison pills off the streets of Colorado."

The DEA added that, "This is the largest one-time seizure of counterfeit pills in Colorado history, and the sixth-largest, single seizure of suspected fentanyl pills in United States history."

Body camera footage released by the Douglas County Sheriff's Office showed deputies lifting the lid of a storage container to reveal the drugs.

"That is an absolute metric s--- ton of fentanyl," one of the deputies said. "I got a very unique situation here."

Following testing, the sheriff’s office confirmed that deputies found 198 kilograms of counterfeit fentanyl pills, 12 kilograms of fentanyl powder and 2.5 pounds of methamphetamine.

"I want to thank the citizen who reported this discovery, the storage facility staff for their cooperation, and the deputies who responded quickly and professionally," Douglas County Sheriff Darren Weekly said. "Let me send a strong and unmistakable message: fentanyl and illegal narcotics will not be tolerated in Douglas County. Our deputies, detectives, and crime lab professionals are committed to keeping this community safe, and we will remain relentless in that mission."

The sheriff’s office, which called the find a "shocking discovery," also said, "The original owner of the storage unit had been taken into custody by the DEA in April, which resulted in the unit going unpaid and eventually being auctioned off."

"I want to thank everyone who helped us with the largest successful fentanyl seizure in Colorado history," Colorado Gov. Jared Polis said in a statement. "Getting more of this deadly drug off the streets saves lives. In Colorado, we are cracking down on crime, apprehending dangerous criminals, and keeping our communities safe. I thank the Colorado Bureau of Investigation and our federal partners for working with us to get criminals off of Colorado streets, out of our communities, and ensure Coloradans and families are safe."


Somewhere, somebodies are going to get killed, if they haven't already been killed and that led to why the unit went to auction.

I'd wage that's true, or, they are in long term incarceration and couldn't make the payment.

I wonder how much money the guy who bought the unit is out. He was probably hoping for an old Atari. Instead he got a jackpot beyond his wildest dreams that he could never cash in.

I have a customer whose son makes his living by buying abandoned storage spaces at auction and flipping the loot. They live in a trailer, are total hoarders and store their loot in the front yard. But he did show me a pristine first edition of Peter Pan he got in one of his spaces, paid $250 for the whole thing.

Which proves these people are bag-o-hammers stupid.

He should have told his cartel-supplied lawyer to pay his storage unit bill. That would be a privileged conversation, as he is not overtly asking the lawyer to break the law.

He won't survive prison.

I think if it were that simple, the dealer who was caught with that much product would have done so.

That doesn’t seem like an amount the local idiot would control.

Fox News must be slipping. Can you really call yourself a MSM reporter of editor if you completely miss the opportunity to bloviate on how many billion people that storage unit could've killed?

Seems like the guy who bought the unit should be given a sizeable reward. I mean like a hundred thousand dollars or so, considering the police resources, not to mention the lives, he saved.

I will not hold my breath. Maybe when DJT hears about it?

OK, stupid question, what is the meaning of "counterfeit fentanyl pills" ?

Meaning they contain no fentanyl or just aren't made in a legal lab ?

Not a "stupid question"! Pills are counterfeited to resemble KNOWN medications, but are in fact containing at least some, and in many cases ALL the active ingredients of fentanyl. They look like "A", "B", or "C" medications, but instead of having any of those ingredients, are instead only fentanyl.

The renter should probably stay in DEA custody if he doesn't want to wind up in a fresh concrete pour or something. Big Grin His bosses, if any, aren't going to be happy about this.

What's missing in this story is the proper new conference.

The guy who bought the unit needs to be at a podium in a surplus military outfit that found in a previous storage unit auction. The more stars and bars the better.

Then he needs 20 people behind him that he recognizes for the role they played in the purchase. They should all stand with their hands together and nod as he speaks. Perhaps one of two of them may also step up to the microphone to detail their involvement.

This group should include (but not be limited to) his family, the storage facility manager, a representative from the auction company, his boss from his regular job, his banker, his mechanic, his neighbors, his favorite teacher from when he was in school, and the guys he meets for coffee in the morning.

That's a lot of unused space... I wonder what else may have been in there...
Cash?
Guns?

A LOT. A lot of these mini storage places don't care if you pay cash and aren't that keen on getting the owners information. Many you could use a fake ID and pay cash. So a lot of drug dealers will keep a modest amount of drugs on hand and cash, so if they're busted they don't get charged with more serious charges if they had more weight on hand. Also more secure place to keep their cash.
