Peppa Pig World aimed at young kids covered in COCAINE including baby-changing and breastfeeding areas, Sun probe finds
Traces of the Class A drug were also discovered on toilet seats at the family attraction based on the well known TV character
PARENTS are snorting cocaine in the baby-changing and breastfeeding area at children’s theme park Peppa Pig World, a Sun Online investigation can reveal.
Traces of the Class A drug were also discovered on toilet seats at the family attraction based on the well known TV character which attracts one million visitors a year.
The Sun Online probe’s findings at Paultons Park in Hampshire - home to Peppa Pig World – comes just as hundreds thousands of children break up from school to begin their summer holidays.
Tests were carried out in seven cubicles and four tested positive for the Class A substance at the venue recently ranked as one of the world's best amusement parks.
The wipes were the same as those adopted by police and turn blue if they come into contact with cocaine.
While some swabs showed only faint colouring, others had large bright blue patches.
It meant they had picked up sizeable traces of cocaine — suggesting the use was recent.
Possession of cocaine is punishable with up to seven years in jail.
Feint traces were found on the toilet cistern and tiled ledge in the baby changing area in the toilets in Peppa Pig World in Romsey.
