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.

It was not yet lit when these photos were taken Monday night, but the interior fit-out appears to be on track for the anticipated November opening. Go Fresh 365 replaces Safeway at the development, and will likely be more competitive with the new Wegmans a few blocks away, as it will offer so many products Wegmans doesn't carry. The Long Island City, New York-based grocery chain boasts that it is the "No.1 Asian/Chinese Supermarket Chain" on the East Coast of the United States.
