Drugs found in child's diaper

PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh police raided a home where they suspected drugs were being sold and found a 2-year-old girl whose diaper was stuffed with 49 small bags of heroin and plastic bags filled with marijuana, authorities said Thursday.

Authorities served a search warrant at a home in the city's Knoxville neighborhood Wednesday night when police found a man and the toddler in a bedroom. The man told police there were no drugs in the house, but an officer became suspicious when he picked up the child and felt a bulge in her diaper.

The girl was taken to a hospital before being given to the custody of a social services caseworker.
