Opioid seizures up 117 percent across Indiana

INDIANAPOLIS -- At the start of 2026, Governor Mike Braun announced there was a major boost in the removal of drugs across the state, leading to a 117 percent spike in opioid seizures since last year. ABC57's Sidney Moore spoke with Sergeant Ted Bohner with ISP to see what sparked this increase. The increase is due to more pro-active policing in the state, and increased sizes of drug seizures especially fentanyl.
