An open door at a home under construction in the Bremerton area led Kitsap County authorities to a safe full of fentanyl over the weekend.

According to a Facebook post, Kitsap County deputies seized approximately two pounds of fentanyl during the Saturday night operation. Of that total, 1.7 pounds were discovered inside a safe.

Authorities also found what appeared to be steroids, along with a stolen handgun, ammunition, and magazines. Additionally, deputies recovered “sensitive material” that had been stolen from a law enforcement support agency.

The Bremerton-area drug bust began when a deputy responded to a call about an open door at the home under construction. The deputy found a man slumped over the wheel of a car parked in the middle of the road.

That man had 26 grams of fentanyl in his possession. Deputies later located a second man. They say he was the one with the safe containing 1.7 pounds of fentanyl.
