In a truly shocking state of affairs, a 6-yr-old Irish boy found when he cracked open his Kinder Surprise egg that it was full of crystal meth.
The boy from Limavady, Co. Derry had been playing with his brother when he found the egg under a hedge. It has been reported that the boy handed the egg to his father who subsequently rang the PSNI immediately.
Talking to Newstalk radio, Inspector Colin Shaw said:
“This incident is of the uppermost concern for all of us.
“Tackling the use and supply of illegal drugs is a priority for us and the possibility that something so potentially dangerous has been discarded where children could find it is deeply concerning.
“I don’t want members of the local community to find drugs on their street, however, this incident just reminds us that criminals have no regard whatsoever for the safety of local residents, and I am thankful that this child had the sense to speak to an adult about what he discovered.”
