An Oshawa Halloween candy investigation has prompted Durham Regional Police to warn residents to inspect treats carefully before eating them.
In a Sunday evening update on its official social account, the service said sewing needles had been found in Halloween candy in the area of Ritson Road North and Taunton Road.
Officers canvass neighbourhood
Police said officers were canvassing the area as the investigation continued. CityNews also reported the warning on November 1, identifying the same Oshawa neighbourhood.
The police update did not identify a suspect or explain how the needles came to be in the candy. The available reports do not establish responsibility for what happened, and no conclusion about a particular home or person should be drawn from the location alone.
Check treats and report concerns
The service asked people to check all Halloween candy carefully before consuming it and to report anything suspicious to police.
The warning concerns a reported incident in Oshawa following Halloween. The investigation remains ongoing, and the initial update provides limited information beyond the location, the discovery and the police response.
