Rockville child confesses to Halloween candy needle hoax

Rockville City police detectives investigating a report of sewing needles embedded in Halloween candy distributed last Friday night have concluded that it was a false report. A child in the household that reported finding the needles inside gummy bears received while trick-or-treating finally confessed to having stuck them into the bears themselves. Police say the 9-year-old made the confession while having additional conversations with their parents following police involvement in the case. The parents had discovered the needles while running a magnet over the candy collected by their children on Halloween.

Police had little choice but to warn the public out of an abundance of caution until they could conclude their investigation. Online commenters who argued that such reports are always proven false were vindicated in this particular case. “This incident understandably raised concern within our community, and we are grateful that it did not present a broader threat to public safety,” Rockville Police Chief Jason L. West said in a statement. “I commend the professionalism and diligence of our officers and detectives for their swift response, thorough investigation, and commitment to ensuring the facts of this case were fully uncovered.”
