Goodyear officers seized more than 13 pounds of fentanyl powder during a traffic stop near Interstate 10 and North Sarival Avenue, police said last week.
Officers stopped a vehicle Oct. 14 for a civil traffic violation “and observed indicators consistent with possible criminal activity involving the transportation of illegal contraband,” according to a Goodyear Police Department release.
During a search, officers discovered a hidden, aftermarket compartment containing approximately six kilograms of fentanyl powder, police said, adding that a field test showed a positive result for fentanyl, police said.
