Subject: “Power Heroin”
The Pittsfield Police Department (PPD) has become aware that a potentially deadly type of heroin (stamped “Power”) has been and continues to be available in Pittsfield. Additionally, we believe that the “Power” heroin has been re-packaged into packets labeled both “Avengers2” and “Redbull.”

These doses of heroin, as well as those stamped “Jumanji”, have been responsible for a number of fatal and non–fatal overdoses in the region within the last month.
