Safety around play locations
A child discovering drugs at a playground or activity site is a serious matter. Incidents like this highlight the importance of supervision at and around locations where children play and take part in activities. Municipalities and playground operators are generally responsible for keeping these environments safe.
If a child comes across drugs or suspicious objects, the advice is to immediately move the child away from the area and call the police. Do not touch the substances yourself, and make sure children do not either.
Police are expected to have launched an investigation into the origin of the drugs found. Heuvelland Vandaag is continuing to follow the situation.
