Massive Counterfeit Pill Operation Uncovered in Connecticut
Federal authorities have disrupted a significant counterfeit pill manufacturing operation in Connecticut, leading to the arrest of seven individuals. These residents were charged in what officials are calling the largest seizure of fake pills in New England. The operation allegedly sold counterfeit pills throughout the U.S., running out of a garage converted into a makeshift lab, which could produce up to 100,000 pills an hour. A substantial cache of drugs, firearms, and cash was also discovered during the investigation, marking a major crackdown on drug trafficking in the region.
