No ‘Fentanyl Candy’ Instances Reported Locally
Noting they are aware of information circulating stating that the drug fentanyl is being packaged as candy, the police said “there have been no instances locally reported to the BPS” and noted that over Halloween the public is “reminded to remain vigilant regarding any candy they may receive.”
A police spokesperson said, “With Halloween fast approaching, the Bermuda Police Service [BPS] is aware of information circulating on social media stating that “Fentanyl is being packaged as Skittles & Nerds” candy.
“However, there have been no instances locally reported to the BPS.
“Nonetheless, members of the public – particularly those that celebrate Halloween – are reminded to remain vigilant regarding any candy they may receive.”
No fentanyl candy instances have been reported anywhere in the world. Also, there has not been a Halloween since the fentanyl candy story got started, so there’s that. This is just another annual Halloween scare brought to you bu the US news media. There is one every year.
And just think about it. Why would a drug dealer who makes good money from selling fentanyl, give it away. It’s not like he’s just trying to get your kids hooked so they will come back a year later and ask if you can have some more.
You don’t know why scummy drug dealers give away samples? Honestly?
“particularly those that celebrate Halloween”
That would be the vast majority of Bermuda residents.
