 Police have uncovered even more drugs at a New York City daycare that investigators believe was being used as a cover for a smuggling operation. Investigators discovered a stash of fentanyl, an incredibly dangerous synthetic opioid, hidden underneath a trap door at the Bronx daycare center where a young child died after being exposed to the drug last week. First responders rushed to Divino Nino Daycare on Friday, September 15 after three young children were reported unresponsive. Paramedics quickly realized they were overdosing on opioids and administered Narcan. Two children, a 1-year-old boy and an 8-month-old girl, survived the horrifying ordeal.

A fourth child from the daycare was later hospitalized with the same symptoms after his mother picked him up earlier. A search of Divino Nino daycare uncovered one kilogram of fentanyl hidden under play mats in a room that the children used to take naps, as well as two kilo presses – which prosecutors say are used to package large quantities of drugs. Grei Mendez, the daycare's owner, was arrested on Saturday and charged with murder, manslaughter, assault, drug possession, and child endangerment.

Investigators said one of the kilo presses was discovered in his room. Mendez's husband, who was last seen leaving the premises with full plastic bags moments before first responders arrived, is still on the run from investigators.
