(FOX News) — Authorities in Texas have busted a suspected fentanyl lab in Houston which was disguised as a car rental, and which law enforcement believe is linked to Mexican cartels seeking to expand their reach into the U.S.
Texas Department of Public Safety raided the building on Jan 30th, finding pill press machines, more than 17lbs of possible fentanyl precursors from China, over 1 kilogram of suspected counterfeit Xanax pills laced with fentanyl and 0.3 lbs fentanyl-laced Oxycodone.
Authorities also found cocaine, ecstasy, methamphetamine pills, a stolen vehicle, three pistols and a rifle.
