Blade in candy box does not appear to be malicious
Investigation into a knife blade located in a box of candy reveals no malicious intent.
On October 31, Halloween night, Cranbrook RCMP tweeted, “an area resident discovered a blade in a box of Halloween chocolate.”
RCMP had been notified by a resident that they had opened a box of candy and located a blade which appeared to be from a box cutter. RCMP sent the tweet in an abundance of caution, and as a reminder to check their children’s candy.
“Over the past few days Cranbrook RCMP attended the store where the candy was bought. An extensive investigation was conducted and it appears the blade was inserted into the box during the manufacturing/distribution process,” said Cst. Katie Forgeron.
“The store in Cranbrook where the candy was bought does not use the type of blades located in the box,” she added.
Cranbrook RCMP also want to advise residents that the blade was not located in a specific piece of candy, but embedded in the box.
