HEROIN MORE PREVALENT IN INDIANAPOLIS, POLICE SAY

INDIANAPOLIS -- Heroin has become increasingly easy to find in Indianapolis and other parts of the state, authorities say. 

The Indiana State Police estimate they will investigate nearly 700 heroin cases this year -- twice as many as last year and triple the number of cases in 2004. 

"I'm seeing a lot, lot more heroin," said Jamie Guilfoy of the Indianapolis Police Department.
