MILFORD — Indiana State Police in conjunction with Milford police have cleaned up the meth trash located in the area of Henry Street, Milford.

The items were located by a pastor at the Christian Church of Milford and called in to Milford police.

According to ISP Trooper Andy Cochran, the contents of the bag included a chemical acid that burns skin on contact. The acid was wrapped in two plastic bags and put inside a small cooler within the bag. Officers also located “meth trash” including plastic bags, pliers and even a makeup compact.

Cochran disposed of the acid and small vinyl cooler in a bucket for safe transport, and bagged up the rest of the items. These items will be used as evidence and then disposed of with a private hazmat company.

ISP and Milford police continue to investigate the incident.
