The police are investigating a playground in Kupferdreh. Mother finds dangerous objects in the sand.
As the Essen police report, yesterday afternoon (July 31st / 4:30 p.m.) a young mother (27) called the police emergency number after discovering suspicious objects in a playground on Poststrasse, at the corner of Colsmanstrasse.
She stated that she was in the playground area with her one-year-old daughter. The climbing frame with slide is surrounded by play sand. Suddenly she noticed a hard object, which upon closer inspection turned out to be a concrete block with a sharp metal rod protruding from it.
This may be building rubble.
After the mother removed the dangerous object, the 27-year-old discovered another, larger stone right next to a slide. The officials then decided to close the playground completely.
It cannot be ruled out that other dangerous objects were placed on the playground. The discovered objects were placed in such a way that they were not recognizable at first glance. A step or fall on these metal spikes could have resulted in serious injuries.
The civil engineering department was informed and took further barrier measures.
