Was trick-or-treat candy tampered with?

Columbia Borough Police received one report of possibly tainted candy that was received during trick-or-treating last night. The candy in question is a miniature Nestle Butterfinger bar in a yellow and blue wrapper. A parent noticed an apparent puncture in the packaging and upon opening the package, saw a hole in the bar with a dark red substance around the hole. The parent believes the candy bar was received while trick-or-treating between 6th St. and 9th St. and between Locust and Chestnut St. People are encouraged to carefully inspect all candy for damaged packaging or suspicious substances.
