Surrey Police issue update after children hospitalised over edibles Four children taken to hospital after eating cannabis laced sweets are not thought to have suffered any long-term effects, police said. But Surrey Police said the youngsters were “lucky” not to have been more seriously affected by whatever they ate, and the source of the sweets was still being investigated. Emergency services were called to the parade of shops in Pound Lane after a 12-year-old boy and girl, as well as a 13-year-old boy, were vomiting uncontrollably and falling in and out of consciousness. Another 12-year-old boy was taken to hospital by his family as a precaution because he is also believed to have eaten the sweets.
The incident comes after a string of incidents in the southwest London area in recent weeks, with children hospitalised in similar circumstances in Merton and in Sutton. There is a suggestion that the sweets may have been supplied to the children at the Court Recreation Ground. Detective Sergeant Lee Marks said: We are, of course, trying to understand what these sweets are, where they came from and what they contain. However, our immediate priority is to warn parents; and to tell children in the area not to be tempted to try them as they are obviously causing substantial harm.
