INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - Five people have been arrested and another is wanted for what police are describing as a two-state heroin ring bust.

Indiana State Police and the Marion County prosecutor’s office announced the bust on Monday. It was an eight-month investigation.

Officers discovered an estimated $400,000 worth of heroin in the bust.
