Columbia River Drug Task Force issues Safety Bulletin: Rainbow Fentanyl

On behalf of the Columbia River Drug Task Force we want to make the public aware of different colored Fentanyl or what is considered “Rainbow” Fentanyl that has been confiscated by law enforcement in the Wenatchee Valley within the last month. CRDTF detectives have seen pictures of this multi-colored Fentanyl on suspect’s phones who reside in the Wenatchee Valley.

We want the public to be aware of this latest trend as the Fentanyl looks very similar to candy or children’s vitamins. Also, there have been drug seizures in Washington State, specifically in Eastern Washington, of colored Fentanyl powder that looks similar to colored chalk. We believe it will only be a matter of time before this type of Fentanyl will also make its way into our community.

We urge the public to talk with your children about the dangers of drugs, to include not ingesting any type of pill that is not prescribed by a Doctor, and not trying or experimenting with any pills or powder that are given to them by an acquaintance, friend, or family member. Fentanyl is an extremely dangerous substance. For more information on the dangers of Fentanyl and to learn more please visit the following websites.
