Dan Krauth has the story.As New York City sees an increase in fatal fentanyl overdoses, prosecutors and detectives say they're also seeing an increase in the amount of illegal weapons coming into the city.
The special narcotics prosecutor said they're often finding illegal firearms along with the fentanyl when serving search warrants, something they haven't seen before.
