Policía de Ontario advierte a padres revisar dulces de Halloween tras hallazgos de agujas

La Policía Provincial de Ontario indicó el 3 de noviembre que los padres deben revisar los dulces de Halloween en busca de objetos extraños después de que se informara de agujas de coser y un clavo encontrados en golosinas de Elliot Lake el 31 de octubre. Días antes, la policía de Toronto y la Región de Durham iniciaron investigaciones tras descubrirse agujas y alfileres en dulces envueltos individualmente, y autoridades en Quebec reportaron una jeringa y otros objetos, lo que provocó una alerta de seguridad a nivel provincial. Estos incidentes formaron parte de un patrón más amplio de manipulación de confitería de Halloween en varias provincias, lo que llevó a las fuerzas del orden a instar a las familias a ejercer una mayor vigilancia al distribuir o recibir dulces.
