11 Hartford SWAT Officers Exposed To Heroin, Fentanyl During Drug Raid

A flash-bang grenade tossed into a stash house on Forest Street Tuesday night kicked up powdered fentanyl and heroin that SWAT officers raiding the building breathed in, police said.

Eleven of the officers were taken to a hospital to be treated for their exposure to the deadly opioid.

Following weeks of investigating by Hartford and East Hartford detectives into a suspected heroin operation, they learned that heroin was being bagged at the apartment for street-level sale, Deputy Chief Brian Foley said.
