Police find drugs in trapdoor at fentanyl daycare

Police have found a "large quantity" of fentanyl, other narcotics, and drug paraphernalia hidden in a trapdoor at a New York City daycare where a boy died from fentanyl exposure.

Photos released by New York City Police Department show more than a dozen plastic bags filled with brown and white powders.

The investigation is ongoing, police said.

A one-year-old died of a suspected drug overdose at the nursery last Friday.

Nicholas Dominici had been at the nursery for just a week.

Fentanyl had been hidden in the nap room under a mat as he slept, police said.

Three other children were admitted to hospital after being exposed to the powerful narcotic at the daycare centre in the Bronx.
