DULUTH, Minn. — Police in northern Minnesota are investigating a report of a nails found in a Halloween candy bar.
Duluth police were called Monday to Bayfield Elementary School on a report that a candy bar had been tampered with.
WDIO-TV reported that the candy bar had been handed out at the Bayview Fall Fest. Tiny trim nails had been placed inside the candy bar.
Police say they do not have a suspect because many people donate candy for the festival.
Bayview Elementary is part of the Proctor school district but is located within Duluth city limits.
Meanwhile, police in two Wisconsin communities are investigating reports of nails and needles showing up in Halloween candy.
Neenah police say officers met with a mother Tuesday night who discovered nails in three pieces of her son’s Halloween candy. Police say they’ll submit the candy to the crime lab for testing. Authorities say it appears to be an isolated incident.
Arcadia police say they’re investigating an individual who was handing out candy with needles inside to trick-or-treaters. The needles were found in at least two pieces of candy and could not be seen until the candy was opened and broken in half.
