JACKSON COUNTY, Fla. (WTXL) - During the holidays, toys and candy are common, and authorities are asking those around children to be vigilant.
Jackson County deputies are warning people about a Lego shaped drug that has caught their attention.
Authorities say the Lego shaped drug contains MDMA, which is also known as ecstasy.
The little pill is branded as a Lego and was found Friday night by Marianna police, while they were conducting a search.
They say, what concerns them the most is that this drug can easily be mistaken as something harmless.
"It is definitely scary, especially when you get stuff that mimics candy, it can get in the hands of the wrong people," said Lt. Tyler Scarborough with the Marianna Police Department. "People that possess these type of narcotics, they go to grocery stores...they get out of vehicles and putting their hands in their pockets and when they pull out they can easily slip out."
Police are working to filter the drug out of schools.
The drug has been a problem overseas, specifically in the UK. Law enforcement officials are asking people who see something to say something as well.
