Police in Woodstock are also investigating after a punctured package of hard candy sent up red flags for one family.
Police were contacted late Tuesday night after a parent noticed a sealed, clear plastic package of candy in their child's Halloween bag had been punctured and one of the pieces of candy had a slightly different colour. The candy is described as mini orange skeleton faces and may have been collected in the northeast end of the city.
While police have not confirmed the candy was tampered with, they are encouraging parents to look through all of the Halloween candy their child collected to ensure it is safe.
