CALGARY (660 NEWS) — RCMP are investigating a case of Halloween candy tampering near Edmonton.

A child in Devon found pins in three different items on Wednesday night.

Police believe the treats were all disbursed from the same house.

No other tampering incidents have been reported, but parents in Devon are being asked to inspect their kid’s candy

closely.
