A Belleville woman reported to police that on Sunday her child found a bag of what looked like drugs at the Chuck E. Cheese's in Fairview Heights.
The 29-year-old woman said her daughter got off the carousel and gave her a bag filled with a white substance, Fairview Heights Police Lt. Steve Evans said.
The woman said she spoke to a manager and was told the throw the bag away. The woman filed a police report on Monday and officers went to the site to investigate, Evans said.
"There's no substance available to us to investigate further at this point," Evans said.
CEC Entertainment released this statement on the incident: "We are aware that a guest found an unknown substance in our Chuck E. Cheese's location in Fairview Heights, IL on Sunday evening.
