Eight people are facing charges after investigators say they were running large-scale fentanyl packaging mills inside residential buildings in the Bronx and Washington Heights.

Authorities seized more than 40 kilograms (roughly 90 pounds) of fentanyl during three separate operations carried out Wednesday. Officials say the drugs have an estimated street value in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Investigators say the operations were based out of apartment buildings, where fentanyl was being processed and packaged using blenders, kilo presses, scales and glassine envelopes. Authorities also recovered more than $30,000 in cash and two loaded firearms during the searches.
