Needle in candy and cannabis-laced treats spark RCMP Halloween warning – National [Video]

The RCMP is warning parents to stay vigilant this Halloween after a needle was recently found in candy at a Newfoundland trick-or-treat event, and illegal cannabis-laced treats, disguised to look like popular brands, were discovered on Vancouver Island.

Newfoundland and Labrador RCMP took to social media on Oct. 26 stating that a needle was found in a Twizzler following a Trunk-or-Treat event at the A&W restaurant in the Bay Roberts area. A photo of the treat with an embedded needle was attached to the social media post.

“Bay Roberts RCMP asks parents of those who attended a Trunk or Treat event at A&W in Bay Roberts to check all treats received. A needle was found in a treat,” RCMP said in an X post.
