Overdose Death Leads Warrington Police To Illicit Online Pharmacy
Working with Homeland Security, the DEA, the FDA and the U.S. Postal Service, local police helped shut down the domain in December.
WARRINGTON TOWNSHIP, PA — The Warrington Township Police Department, working with a number of federal and county agencies, helped bring down an online illicit pharmacy after a Bucks County EMS first responder died from a fatal drug overdose traced to the pharmacy.
The department launched an investigation in April 2022 into the pharmacy vendor operating under the domain "Sure Life Solutions" in connection with the death of the first responder.
Police said the day after the victim died, a package arrived at his home containing blister packs containing a combination of Valium and Rivotril (Clonazepam). Warrington Police, working with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Philadelphia, determined that the drugs were ordered from a clear net pharmacy vendor.
