A northern Ontario police department is reminding adults to carefully check kids' Halloween candy after receiving a report of a needle in a chocolate bar.
Timmins Police received the report of tainted candy on Halloween night after a young child went trick or treating in the north end of the city.
"The candy involved consisted of a wrapped chocolate bar with a needle inside," reads a news release. "Police would like to remind all parents to inspect all candy collected from trick or treating. Any signs of tampering should be reported to the Timmins Police without delay."
Police say the child was trick or treating in the areas of Diane Crescent, Hart Street, Murray Street, Toke Street and Donna Crescent.
Anyone with information is asked to call police at 705-264-1201.

When the victims tried to chase the robbers, police say one of the assailants shot them with the air pistol.
