Police agencies in two B.C. cities are warning about incidents of possible Halloween candy tampering.
Delta police said a concerned parent contacted them on Sunday to say their child had opened a candy bar and found a sewing needle protruding from one end.
The child was not injured.
The family had been trick-or-treating in the area of 75th Avenue and 113th Street to 118th Street and 74B Avenue.
In addition, Prince George RCMP is issuing a warning to parents about tampered Halloween candy after receiving multiple reports this weekend.

If you find anything, make sure to report it immediately to police using our non-emergency line,” Cpl. Jennifer Cooper, media relations officer for the Prince George RCMP said in a statement.
The affected items so far have been mini chocolate bars and bagged gummy candy.
No children were injured, Cooper confirmed.
