‘Laughing Gas’ Warning Posters

Police posters warning of the dangers of inhaling nitrous oxide have gone up around the Warwick Road Recreation Ground in Kibworth.

It comes after around 50 empty canisters of the so-called ‘laughing gas’ were found there last week.

The substance was linked to five deaths in the UK last year.

Canisters and discarded balloons, used by people to breathe in the gas, have also been found at other local parks in recent weeks.
