Medicine Hat police investigate suspicious item found in Halloween candy
Medicine Hat police are investigating after a suspicious item was found in a child’s Halloween candy collected in the Saamis area.
Police say a resident reported finding a partially deflated bag of chips around 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, with what appeared to be a cut in one corner and part of an unidentified pill marked with the number 400 protruding from the opening.
No one consumed the item, and no illnesses have been reported.
The family had been trick-or-treating throughout the Saamis area and could not identify which home the chips came from.
