(BLOOMINGTON) - There’s a new push to get dangerous drugs off the streets of Bloomington.

Investigators say they found a batch of synthetic marijuana, known as "Spice," thanks to an unusual message.

In Jane Walter's neighborhood on South Washington Street, the handwriting is on the wall - A sign is posted that says "Drugs This Way."

Police found the drugs behind a fence and one doorway away from the sign.
