ONEONTA – Oneonta Police have been called to four heroin overdoses in the last 48 hours, prompting fears that a "bad batch" may be on the streets, according to Police Chief Doug Brenner.

"Each time, our officers had to use both of their Narcan kits to revive the person," said Brenner. "That tells us that it's a heavy overdose, possibly tainted with fentanyl."
