While parents know their kids need plenty of fruits and vegetables to grow up healthy and strong, they also know a sweet treat every once in a while isn’t going to do any harm, which is what one Northern Ireland dad thought when his son got his hands on a Kinder Surprise egg.
The six-year-old Irish boy had found the wrapped chocolate egg under a bush and was just as excited to eat the chocolate as he was to find out what the surprise toy was waiting inside. The little boy had been playing outside with his older brother when he unwrapped the candy, but instead of a toy, he found a mysterious bag full of white powder.
The two couldn’t figure out what it was, but decided to tell dad about what they found. He instantly went to the police with what his boys had found, and they determined the powder to be methamphetamine.
“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,” Inspector Colin Shaw of the Police Service of Northern Ireland said.
“As a father of a child, I know how enticing Kinder eggs and their contents are to children. In this instance, the children are to be commended for passing the contents to their parents,” DUP councillor Alan Robinson said.
