Posted by If you haven’t already checked your kids’ Halloween candy, Brantford police insist you do after receiving a report that some might have been tampered with.
On Oct. 31, a child had been trick-or-treating in the West Brant area of Brantford. The candy was collected on Blackburn Drive, Conklin Road, Shellard Lane and St. Patricks Drive.
After the family arrived home, the child’s parents checked the candy. One of the packages contained items not consistent with the product packaging. The family contact the police the next day and started an investigation.
Police found the package was a DOTS Assorted Fruit Flavored Gumdrops minibox, which was supposed to contain fruit-flavoured gumdrops. The candy had been replaced with three small unknown white cubes The lid was pushed back together but was not fully resealed or glued.
