The PSNI has hit out after a small child found a Kinder Egg box filled with drugs.
The child found the package in the Woodside area of Portadown but it was handed in to police.
PSNI Craigavon said: “It is disappointing to have to put this post up but the sheer recklessness and disregard for the rest of us displayed by drugs users makes it necessary.
“The post is not about causing fear or panic either but it is about raising awareness of this occurrence so that parents especially can speak to their children and warn them of the dangers of these items.

“The package shown was found by a small child in the Woodside area of Portadown and thankfully, handed to us. The words to express the anger and disgust all reasonable people should feel toward the drug user who left it there are surely in your mind now.
“Please speak to your kids, advise them never to touch anything they find in the street but rather to tell an adult, harm caused to one child is one child too many.
“If you know anything about drugs use or supply please contact us on 101 or contact the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, 100% anonymous, always.
“If you are a user of drugs and recognise the danger you are in please speak to a health care professional.”
