Police in New Jersey’s Mansfield Township are urging parents, guardians and people to check their Halloween candy after a report of a piece of metal found in a candy bar.
In a social post on Facebook Friday evening, Mansfield Township police said they responded to the Mapleton neighborhood in Columbus, New Jersey, and a resident said her child was trick-or-treating in the community on Thursday.
“As the child was looking through her candy, she noticed that there was a crack in the top of a Twix bar. Inside the bar was a long, thin piece of metal,” police said in the social post.
Mansfield Township police seized the candy bar and said the incident will be investigated by the detective bureau.
“If anyone knows or hears anything, please don’t hesitate to report it to us,” police said. “As a reminder, check your candy and report anything suspicious.”
