Thirty pounds of carfentanil pills headed to the Omaha metro have been intercepted with the help of Douglas County Sheriff's Office.
That's about 150-thousand pills that could have been smuggled in. Carfentanil is estimated to be about 100 times more powerful than fentanyl and 10,000 times more powerful than morphine. Minimal exposure can cause fatal overdoses in humans.
DCSO says the pills they recovered are made to look like prescription oxycodone.
The Sheriff's Office worked with the United States Postal Inspection Service during the investigation.
