Smithers RCMP are warning the public that small northern towns are not immune to the scourge of dangerous drugs like fentanyl.

“Drug dealers dont care about who they hurt, and only care about making money,” says Begg.
He says police will soon be outfitted with Naloxone kits for overdose victims and will be trained on how to safely handle fentanyl
