RCMP say there have been no other complaints to RCMP about tampered Halloween treats.
They are reminding parents to be vigilant and to check Halloween candy before allowing children to eat them.
Anyone who finds candy that has been tampered with is asked to call police.
Earlier this week, police in Bathurst, N.B. and Fredericton reported cases of tampered Halloween candy.
