Calgary police are warning parents and families to check their children’s Halloween treats after a report of possible candy tampering in Panorama Hills.
A woman in a northwest Calgary neighborhood reported to police Thursday that she found a sewing needle in a chocolate bar her child received while trick-or-treating in the area, according to a news release.
The child did not eat the chocolate and was not injured.
Police have not determined where the child got the chocolate, as they collected candy from more than 100 homes, the release said. Police are continuing their investigation to determine if the tampering was intentional.
Police are reminding parents and guardians to inspect their children’s candy before allowing them to eat it, check the packaging for tears or holes, and throw out any candy that looks suspicious.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 403-266-1234 or send anonymous tips to Calgary Crime Stoppers (1-800-222-8477).
