Mounties in Prince George are warning parents to double-check their children’s Halloween treats after several families reported finding sewing needles or pins hidden in candy.
Police say the reports came from residents in the area of Bittner Road West and Bachinski Crescent, where tampered mini chocolate bars and bagged gummy candies were discovered over the weekend.
Corporal Jennifer Cooper with Prince George RCMP said officers are continuing to investigate and are urging anyone who finds suspicious candy to contact police. “We want parents to take another look at their kids’ candy to make sure there are no tampered pieces in there,” Cooper said in a statement.
No injuries have been reported, but investigators are reminding families to remain cautious and report any concerning items using the RCMP’s non-emergency line.
