Cape Breton Regional Police received a report this week from a family who say they found a needle inside an Oh Henry chocolate bar on Nov. 6.

The child the treat belongs to had been trick-or-treating on George St., Bernard Lind Dr. and several other streets in the Sydney area, police say.

Police say they are investigating the complaint and are reminding parents and children to check all Halloween candy prior letting eating them, and to report any tampering to police.

The same day, a 13-year-old girl in Dartmouth also reported finding a razor blade stuck inside a chocolate bar.

This past weekend, officers got a complaint from a victim who says he unwrapped a candy bar from his grandson’s treat bag on Saturday and discovered a small needle with a yellow plastic ball on the end of it inside the bar.

All of the cases remain under investigation.
