Sewing Needles Reportedly Found In Halloween Candy In Ohio

Police Says Sewing Needles Were Found In Halloween Candy In Ohio

Sewing needles were found in Halloween candy in Ohio and the Fostoria police are urging parents to thoroughly check their children’s candy.

Fostoria Police Division reports that more than one piece of candy was tampered with, and one child found a needle wedged in his Kit Kat.

“Why would anyone do this? We’ve all heard of these types of things happening, but to actually have someone do this in our community is truly disturbing!” the police department said in a post on Facebook.

A local hospital is offering free x-ray services to help parents scan their kids’ candy. The free scans will take place on Nov. 1 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. and again on 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at ProMedica Fostoria Community Hospital.

“Although we only are aware of two pieces of candy being involved, we take this seriously and are appalled that anyone would be so demented as to want to hurt children in our community,” Chief Keith Loreno said.

A Citywide trick-or-treat cekebrstion in Fostoria was held Saturday, Oct. 30, but, police do not know which house the dangerous candy came from.

“We take this seriously and are appalled that anyone would be so demented as to want to hurt children in our community,” the police chief said. https://t.co/ZFTnqZVogZ
