Niagara regional police are investigating after four prescription muscle relaxant pills were found in a St. Catharines, Ont., child’s Halloween candy bag Monday.

The child trick-or-treated on Rykert, Cummings, Merigold, Churchill, Chetwood and Lloyd streets, in addition to Pelham and Hillview roads in St. Catharines.
