Just as schools in the U.K, break up for their Summer Holidays – U.K News company, The Sun, have recently investigated and found that cocaine is being snorted in the baby-changing and breastfeeding areas of the popular children’s theme park, Peppa Pig World.
The investigation was probed after police found an innocent-looking Peppa Pig lunchbox packed with super-strength cocaine in a car boot of a car making its way from Liverpool to Bristol.
There was also traces of the drug on the toilet seats at the popular theme park situated in Paulton’s Park in Hampshire, which attracts about a million visitors each year.
Four out of the seven cubicles tested, were found positive for the Class A substance and in the baby changing area, traces were found on the toilet cistern and tiled ledge. Usage of the drug was also discovered on a toilet seat and a loo roll holder in the same block.
A padded bench used by mums to breastfeed their babies also had traces of cocaine on it.
The wipes used to test for cocaine, were the same as those used by police. They turn blue if they come into contact with cocaine. Some swabs had big bright blue patches which are indicative of substantial traces of cocaine and also suggest that the use of the substance was recent.
The popular park which opened in April 2011 boasts, an indoor play zone, a muddy puddles water splash park, seven rides as well as play areas and themed buildings.
This discovery comes just a few weeks after a Sun Online also discovered the usage of cocaine at Harry Potter World in Hertfordshire. Peppa Pig World has been contacted by the News Company for a comment, but are still awaiting their reply.
If caught in possession of cocaine in the U.K, the offence is punishable with up to seven years in jail.
