Police Issue Warning Ahead of Halloween After Families Find Needles in Candy Handed to Children
Police have issued a warning after candy with sewing needles was passed out to children at a homecoming event in Santa Fe, Texas.
The department received calls from parents in the community advising that they found pins in candy brought home,” the SFPD said.
No injuries were reported, and the SFPD is investigating the incident based on the physical evidence they were presented by the parents.
Jeremy Partin, a Santa Fe father, was the first to report the tampered candy after his 18-year-old daughter opened a KitKat bar from one of the children’s candy bags and discovered a sewing pin lodged inside the chocolate.
Santa Fe police have not identified any suspects at this time.
The parents are saying that this was no accident.
“They stuck it right in. This was deliberate.”
