Halloween can be a night of frights, but not the kind you expect! Surrey Police Service (SPS) is investigating a disturbing report that could turn a fun night into a nightmare. Parents, it's time to be extra vigilant!
On Saturday, November 1st, SPOSU officers received a concerning call: a parent found a metal staple inside a Reese Peanut Butter Cup. The candy was reportedly collected in the Clayton Heights neighborhood.
The SPS and RCMP Surrey Provincial Operations Support Unit (SPOSU) are urging all parents and guardians to meticulously check their children's Halloween candy. This isn't just a suggestion; it's a necessity.
And this is the part most people miss... The children who received the potentially tampered candy were trick-or-treating between 188th Street to 190th Street and 72nd Avenue to 70th Avenue. Police are actively working to trace the source of this dangerous treat.
The SPS emphasizes a crucial reminder: Always inspect your children's candy before they consume it. If you find anything suspicious, don't hesitate. Contact the Surrey Police Service's non-emergency number at 604-599-0502 immediately.
But here's where it gets controversial... While incidents like these are rare, they highlight the importance of safety.
