Police in Stendal, Saxony-Anhalt, find "suspicious narcotics" plants in a children's playground. The reason may be a new lawn that was sown a few weeks ago and contained other seeds.

The officials acted quickly, removed the plants, according to their own statements, "completely" and seized them. They are to be "subsequently investigated," writes the police in a statement. Negative effects on playing children or parents have not yet been reported to the police.
