A 76-year-old pensioner was arrested over a suspected holiday camp poisoning in a pub car park three miles from where children fell ill and eight were hospitalised.
Leicestershire Police revealed they were called to a report of youngsters feeling unwell at a site in Stathern, near Melton Mowbray - a Christian summer camp.
Residents in the nearby village of Plungar have described 'chaotic' scenes following the suspected poisoning - in what was described as 'every parent's worst nightmare'.
The incident is believed to have happened at Stathern Lodge, a converted farmhouse with a sports hall and catering facilities.
The suspect was arrested on Monday afternoon in the car park of the Anchor Inn at Plungar, about three miles from the 700-population Leicestershire village of Stathern.
