LORAIN — A needlelike metal object was found in a candy bar handed out on Halloween on Saturday, a 17-year-old girl told police.
A police report was unavailable Sunday night, but police said in a Sunday Facebook post that the candy bar was distributed in the area of Oberlin Avenue and Leavitt Road between West Erie Avenue and West 14th Street. Alekzandras Boniscavage, who said she received the candy bar, didn’t return calls Sunday. However, in a Facebook post, she said she received the Baby Ruth candy bar between Oberlin and Park avenues between West Erie Avenue and West 10th Street.
Police Lt. Les Palmer said in an interview that no other complaints about candy being tampered with have been reported. Anyone with complaints can call police at (440) 204-2100. Palmer said police made the post as a precautionary measure.
“You know how kids are, they trade candy,” he said. “We just want everyone to be safe.”
