Georgia police issue warning after parents report needles in children's Halloween candy

Police in north Georgia are investigating after some parents reported to police finding sewing needles in their children’s Halloween candy.

Police say once the parents filed a formal report, investigators were able to determine it happened in the Great Sky neighborhood in Canton.

"We have not received any other reports of candy tampering at this time, but we caution parents to check their children’s candy thoroughly," the department wrote on its Facebook page.

No serious injuries were reported, but police are warning parents to check their children’s candy.
