BENSALEM, Pennsylvania (WPVI) — While Halloween may be a month away, police are warning parents to take a good hard look at their child’s candy.<\/p>\n
“Unfortunately, there’s a lot of sick and evil people out there, and this is the world we live in,” said Fred Harran, Bensalem police director of public safety.<\/p>\n
Bensalem police reported that officers conducted a traffic stop earlier in September and confiscated what looked like normal candy. However, the items that looked like sour patch candies, Cheetos, and Sweetarts all contained THC.<\/p>\n
Bensalem police said the suspect bought the snacks in California and planned to sell them here in Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n
“Who knows where these things could have wound up,” said Harran. “People think they’re funny, and they’re going to put them in Halloween bags and not realize you could have a child now that could have a reaction to it.”<\/p>\n
Parent Toni Harper of Parkwood said she had a hard time differentiating the fake ones from the real things.<\/p>\n
“That’s horrifying to think you have all these little children running around. A lot of them don’t even check their candy before they get home, so that’s awful,” said Harper.<\/p>\n
Police advise parents to inspect their children’s candies and look for anything that appears off.<\/p>\n
“They don’t look like the regular type of candies you’d buy in the grocery store or a candy store. But it’s enough that if the parent isn’t checking properly or a kid decides they’re hungry on the Halloween trail, they might reach in and open a bag of what appears to be Cheetos, but they’re not,” said Harran.<\/p>\n
