COURT HOUSE – Cape May County Prosecutor Jeffrey H. Sutherland and Chief of County Detectives Paul S. Skill warn Cape May County residents to be cautious with suspicious or unfamiliar looking candy and other edible items during the Halloween season.
According to a release, on Oct. 25, a bag of suspected heroin was found in a child’s bag of candy that was collected from a Trunk-or-Treat event in Rio Grande.
According to Sutherland, this was one isolated incident, but the laboratory analysis indicated the substance inside the bag tested positive for heroin. Sutherland and Skill urge the public to always check the Halloween candy children bring home and to be cautious of any suspicious looking or unfamiliar packaging and baggies.
Parents and guardians should be vigilant while Trick-or-Treating with their children and if at all possible do not let them consume any candy until a thorough inspection has been completed after returning home.
If anyone comes into contact with or has any information regarding suspicious candy, they are asked to contact their local police department.
Information can also be reported to the Cape May County Prosecutor’s Office at (609) 465-1135 or anonymously through the Cape May County Sheriff’s Tip Line at cmcsheriff.net and click on anonymous tip, or through the Cape May County Crime Stoppers at 609-465-2800.
Cape May – Governor Murphy says he doesn't know anything about the drones and doesn't know what they are doing but he does know that they are not dangerous. Does anyone feel better now?
