MADISON COUNTY, Kentucky (WLKY) — Kentucky officers are warning parents to check Halloween candy after needles were found inside treats in two different counties.
Over the weekend, the Madison County Sheriff’s Office made posts to their social media reporting two instances of Halloween candy containing needles.
Madison County deputies responded to the first incident on Halloween. The sheriff’s office says that trick-or-treater returned home with their candy when they discovered needles inside a pack of Twizzlers. Two needles were discovered.
The needles can be viewed in the photos below.
Deputies responded Saturday to a second incident. They say the trick-or-treaters were inspecting their candy when they discovered a needle in an Almond Joy. A needle can be seen poking out of a candy bar in the photo below:
It was not specified if the sheriff’s office believes the incidents are connected.
On Sunday, nearly 150 miles away, the Glasgow Police Department posted to their social media a photo of a needle sticking out of a broken candy bar.
Anyone who finds contaminated candy should contact police.
