Suspicious candy contained illegal substance

Codiac RCMP continues to investigate concerns over suspicious candy found on Halloween in Moncton’s Northwest end.

Superintendent Benoit Jolette told Moncton City Council the candies were laced with an illegal substance.

The suspicious candy came from a home in the Evergreen area.

Luckily no one was hurt.

A reminder from RCMP once again to always observe your child’s candy before consumption. Do not eat it if it has:

  • An unusual appearance or discoloration
  • Tiny pinholes or tears in wrappers
  • Spoiled or unwrapped items
  • Wrapping that is not commercially produced
  • Homemade items or baked goods should be discarded unless you personally know who gave them.
  • And “When in doubt, throw it out”
