 Indiana State Police in western Indiana are bringing back an old strategy that you may have forgotten about.

        State police Sgt. Joe Watts say troopers are using airplanes to catch you if you’re speeding. He says the targeted roadway is U.S. 40 between Indianapolis and Terre Haute as well as portions of U.S 41 between Terre Haute and Evansville.

      Watts says the strategy has been around since the 1960’s but it has rarely been used up until recently. He says in the five times they have used it in the last five weeks, troopers have issued over 100 speeding citations along with another 150 warnings.
