DALLAS, N.C. — Police are investigating a report of tainted treats in Gaston County.
Parents said they found screws and razors in their daughter’s Halloween bucket.
The parents sent photos of the candy to Channel 9.
They said all of the candy that had been tampered with was different.
They said it came from the Long Creek Meadows subdivision in Dallas.
"She was already in bed, but me and my husband got a hankering for some candy. So we started going through it and we found a Snickers wrapper that had a little puncture hole in it and when we opened it up there was a screw in it,” mother Katie Smith said.
She said she started going through the rest of the candy and found five other pieces that had been tampered with.
She said she even found the tip of a razor blade in one of the pieces.
