Attorney General Dave Sunday announced a progress report detailing the removal of fentanyl and illegal firearms from Pennsylvania communities during 2025.

According to the press release, the Bureau of Narcotics investigation reported a record number of fentanyl seizures last year, with agents and collaborators seizing nearly 57 million doses as well as 100,000 pills.

Nearly 30 million fentanyl doses were seized in the greater Philadelphia area. In all, the estimated street value of fentanyl seizures last year is over $58 million.

“Fentanyl continues to kill Pennsylvanians, erasing victims’ hopes and dreams, and leaving loved ones with a heartache that never heals. That is why targeting traffickers will remain a top priority,” Attorney General Sunday said. “This record number of seizures by our team, along with collaborators, is an indicator of great progress — but also a sign of the tremendous demand, and profits, available to predatory dealers.”

The Gun Violence Task Forces seized last year 539 firearms that were illegally possessed across Pennsylvania. The firearms were either illegally trafficked, had no serial numbers, and/or were possessed by individuals with prior felony convictions or were otherwise prohibited from having firearms.

“These firearms so often ended up at the scenes of violent crimes as a shooter’s weapon of choice, so every single seizure is impactful in achieving public safety goals,” Attorney General Sunday said. “If Pennsylvanians cannot walk their children to school, or visit the neighborhood grocer or pharmacy without the threat of gun violence, that means we still have work to do. I thank our partners for sharing the commitment to targeting illegal firearms and those who traffic and use them to commit crimes.”
