New York announced the largest fentanyl bust in its history.

New York has been taking on the fentanyl crisis, and its latest win against the distribution of the drug comes in the form of a major fentanyl seizure, which is now the city’s largest in its history.

On Oct. 7, authorities found roughly 300,000 rainbow-colored fentanyl pills inside two closets in a Bronx apartment closet. So far, two people have been arrested in connection to the seizure, CNN reports. There were also more than 22 pounds of fentanyl in a powdered form. On the street, the drugs would be worth $9 million.

“Hundreds of thousands of lethal pills were lying in wait in a Bronx apartment to be unleashed onto our streets. In today’s world, the potential to overdose is dangerously high,” said Frank Tarentino, DEA Special Agent in Charge, CNN reports. “There is no quality control in these fake pills and it only takes two milligrams of fentanyl to be lethal.”

Nassau County District Attorney Anne T. Donnelly says rainbow-colored fentanyl is biggest “threat” we’re facing.

“Rainbow fentanyl is the latest threat we face in our fight against the opioid epidemic that sadly continues to ravage our communities – a multi-colored poison specifically designed to attract younger users,” said Donnelly. The two people were given multiple drug and firearm charges in connection to the bust.
