Authorities in Maryland are investigating after parents found a needleless syringe among their child's Halloween candy on Monday night, according to Anne Arundel County police.
Officers were called around 7:30 p.m. on Halloween to a home in Glen Burnie for a report of a suspicious item. The parents, who were not identified, told investigators that they found a syringe among the candy gathered by their child after the kid went trick-or-treating Monday night.
Additional information on the case was not immediately available.
"At this time, it is uncertain where the syringe came from or who was responsible for giving the child the syringe," police said in a news release.
