"A 76-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of administering poison at a summer camp which led to eight children being taken to hospital.
Police responded to a report of children feeling unwell at the camp in the village of Stathern, Leicestershire, on Sunday.
A triage centre was set up at a nearby village hall, and eight children were taken to hospital as a precaution and have all since been discharged, Leicestershire Police said."
"The man was arrested at the scene and remains in custody where he is being held on suspicion of administering poison/a noxious thing with intent to injure/aggrieve/annoy.
Officers have contacted the parents or guardians of those who were taken to hospital, the force added."
This took place at a very "currywog" area, and they are yet to release a name.
"suspicion of administering poison/a noxious thing with intent to injure/aggrieve/annoy." This has me wondering, as normally I would suspect this was just the usual piss poor food hygiene standards of the Midlands, but this says that he was arrested on With Intent charge.
Local MP:
Ed Argar, Conservative MP for Melton and Syston, said the reports were "clearly shocking" and "deeply concerning".
"Our thoughts are with the young people affected - wishing them a full recovery," he added.
"While, understandably, people will have a lot of questions about what has happened, it is important we remember this is a live police criminal investigation, so I would caution against people speculating while the police do that work.
"I would, however, encourage the police to provide as much information publicly as they can, as soon as they can, but without prejudicing that vital investigation."
for Melton and Syston, said the reports were "clearly shocking" and "deeply concerning".
