Police warn needles found in Halloween candy in Rockville


Sewing needles were found in Halloween candy distributed to trick-or-treating kids in Rockville last night, Rockville City police are warning. Two children were given packages of gummy bears that contained the needles, police say. Those packages were handed out at a home in the area surrounding Welsh Drive and West Edmonston Drive. The needles were embedded in the gummy bears, not just in the packages. Detectives are investigating.

Police are warning parents to inspect all candy collected by children last night. If you find any suspicious items that appear to have been tampered with, police are asking you to confiscate those items, and keep them to give to detectives. Do not throw them away. Contact the Rockville City Police Department’s non-emergency line at 240-314-8900 to file a report and arrange for an officer to collect the item.

  1. A syringe wouldn’t fit in a gummy bear, fake news. Your reporting is worse than a HS paper

    1. 6:10: You are calling the Rockville City Police Department liars? The information is directly from RCPD. It's sad when a few people's hate for the truth about crime exceeds their concern for the safety of children in our community. Are you one of those "defund the police" people?
