The North Bay Police Service is issuing a safety alert after a sewing needle was discovered inside a piece of Halloween candy.
Police say they received the report on Wednesday after the needle was discovered inside a Twizzlers licorice candy after it was opened.
They say the wrapper did not appear to have been tampered with before it was opened.
The individual was unable to identify exactly where they got the candy but reported trick-or-treating in the neighbourhoods surrounding the police and fire stations.
City police are urging parents and caregivers to carefully inspect all Halloween treats before allowing children to eat them.
Anyone who discovers a foreign object or suspicious material in Halloween candy is asked to report it, by calling the North Bay Police Service at 705-472-1234.
