The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) in Bay Roberts took to social media on Saturday evening to caution parents after a needle was found in a treat following a Halloween event in the community.
In posts made on Facebook and X (formerly Twitter), Bay Roberts RCMP state that a needle was found in a treat following a Trunk-or-Treat event at the A&W restaurant in the community. Parents are asked to check all treats acquired at the event. A photo of the treat with embedded needle was attached to the social media posts.
This warning from police comes just a few days after North River Recreation urged parents to dispose of treats acquired at a Trunk or Treat event in the town of North River. The post was encouraged by staff at the Janeway after a child was admitted to the Janeway following the event in North River.
Police have not made any connection between the two incidents.
