On Monday, November 3, 2025, at 12:12 p.m. a frontline Trail and Greater District RCMP officer received a report that a sewing needle was located inside a piece of Halloween candy by a parent, in Rossland, BC.
The parent initially noticed one of her child’s candy packages was ripped. Upon further inspection, she located a sewing needle with thread stuck inside the mini chocolate bar inside the packaging. Her child had been trick-or-treating on Cooke Avenue in Rossland and Lower Sunningdale in Trail.
No foul play is currently suspected but how the sewing needle and thread got into the chocolate bar remains a mystery.
“We encourage everyone to follow this parent’s example and inspect all Halloween candy for safety reasons as a precaution at this time,” says Sgt. Wicentowich.
