A 4-year-old girl in Delaware brought 249 bags of heroin weighing 3.735 grams in her backpack into a day care and began passing it out to other children, according to Delaware State Police.

Day care employees at the Hickory Tree Child Care Center in Selbyville alerted police and medical personnel yesterday around 11:45 a.m. after they noticed children holding small bags of the white powdery substance.

According to investigators, no children opened the packets of heroin, but several went to the hospital as a precaution. After being examined, the children were all released.
