Halifax Regional Police are urging the public to check Halloween goodies after what they describe as a potential “candy tampering incident.”
Shortly before 4 p.m. Wednesday, officers responded to a “suspicious circumstance” call at a home on Princess Margaret Boulevard in Dartmouth.
“A man reported that he felt unwell after eating a piece (of) chocolate candy that tasted like soap,” a release from the force says.
Police say the candy is believed to have been handed out in the Fairview area on Halloween.
