Sewing needle found in Halloween candy

Police are urging parents to check their children's Halloween candy thoroughly after a sewing needle was found in a chocolate bar collected in Woodstock.

The father of a three-year-old child found the 4 cm yellow-tipped sewing needle in a partially torn Rolo candy bar, Woodstock police said in a statement Monday.

The tampered sweet was found Saturday among other candy collected from the Clarke, Sloane, Willowgrove, Edgewood, North Park, Brompton and Springbank Ave. areas of the city.

No one was hurt in the incident, but police are advising parents to take a look through their kid's Halloween collection for any other products that may have been tampered with.

The Criminal Investigation Bureau is continuing to investigate the incident.
