Maine AG: State Joining East Coast Heroin Task Force

ALBANY, N.Y. - Maine and Maryland have agreed to collaborate with four other eastern states in investigations of heroin trafficking that often cross state lines.

The task force members, which also include New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, have created a formal framework for sharing information, something some investigators have done informally in the past.

Maine Attorney General Janet Mills says Maine is seeing a spike in heroin-related activity.  She says the states have to work together to stem the supply, "trying to share a lot more information, a lot quicker. And that's all that this is about, in essence, but have a team approach."

Mills says Maine is at the end of the pipeline, but says every week the state is seeing people coming to Maine from New York to sell heroin.
