Police Warn Parents About Altered Dots Candy
By Timfly
Police are urging parents to be cautious after a box of candy was apparently tampered with and then distributed at a local elementary school’s Halloween event this weekend.
It remains unclear if the candy itself was altered in any way, and no one appears to have been harmed.
A fun-size box of Dots that was handed out at the Lewin G. Joel Jr. School’s “Monster Mash” event on Saturday was found to have been opened and sealed shut again, with a large glob of glue, according to the Clinton Police Department.
The candy inside was removed from the package and re-sorted, police said in a statement.
“DOTS candy routinely come in assorted colors in each box,” they said. “This box, once opened by the resident tonight, revealed that all the DOTS inside the box were the same color [red].
“It is unknown if the candy inside the box was also tampered with.”
The candy will be sent to a lab for analysis, police said.
Police encouraged attendees to the event to take extra precautions before allowing their children to eat the treats.
“If you aren’t sure if your candy may have been tampered with, we urge you to error on the side of caution and merely discard the candy,” police said.
