Two New Jersey police departments are investigating reports of pins found in their children's Halloween candy.
In Commercial Township in Cumberland County, a mother told police she found a sewing needle in a Tootsie Roll her child collected while trick-or-treating. The child's mother told detectives she found the needle in the candy between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. Monday.
State Police confirm they are investigating the report, and say they do not believe it to be a hoax.
Police released several photos of the tainted treat.
In Barnegant Township in Ocean County, police say they're investigating a report of a resident finding a small pin in a Kit Kat bar. It was allegedly collected in the Timbers development.
Police said the wrapper was compromised and that the candy was not sealed.
No arrests have been made in either case. Authorities are reminding parents they should check their children's Halloween candy for potential foreign objects.
