Cops: Needle Or Pin Reportedly Found In Candy In South Jersey

WOODBURY HEIGHTS, NJ (CBS) -- Police say they received a call reporting a needle or pin was found in a piece of candy that was obtained in Woodbury Heights, New Jersey on Halloween.

Authorities say the alleged tampered with candy was a Snickers Almond bar.

The caller said she trick-or-treated in the 100 and 200 block of Central Ave as well as Second Street, Linden Ave and Beech Avenue.

The caller has not yet brought in the candy to be examined, police say, and it is unknown if the reported tampering was done at home, in the factory or somewhere in between.

Authorities urge all parents to check candy thoroughly and if candy appears to be tampered with they ask parents to report it to the local police department immediately.
