Reports have emerged about an unsettling incident at a Leicestershire summer camp that resulted in eight children, including some from Lincolnshire, being hospitalised. The camp was held at Stathern Lodge and it seems that kids from various regions were in attendance.
There has been widespread worry within the Lincolnshire community, particularly among the parents of children affected by this unfortunate episode. Following the incident, where it is believed a 76-year-old man was arrested under suspicion of poisoning, the police have initiated an investigation.
The village hall in Plungar bore witness to deeply distressing scenes as it was converted into a temporary triage centre. Parents hailing from Lincolnshire and various other areas were in a state of heightened anxiety awaiting updates on their children’s health.
Thankfully, it has been reported that all children affected by the incident have since been discharged from hospital. As the police investigation continues, families in Lincolnshire are eagerly seeking reassurances about the safety of such events.
