From razor blades to toothpicks, police across Ontario have issued warnings after a wide variety of items were reportedly found inside candy that children received on Halloween.
On Friday, provincial police in James Bay reported that a child had found a mini razor blade inside a Kit Kat minibar.
Police said they were still working to determine the source of the bar, which had been received while trick-or-treating in Cochrane, Ont.
Further south, provincial police in Bancroft said that a child had received a Coffee Crisp minibar with a rusty thumb tack poked into it.
