Police investigating after children given THC gummies while trick-or-treating in CT
Police are trying to figure out why two children trick-or-treating were given candy laced with THC.
On October 31, 2019 at about 9:00 PM members of the Waterford Police Department Patrol Division were notified of a potential issue with Halloween candy. Officers found that 2 children, under 18 years old, had each received a sealed package of a “gummy” style candy. The package material stated each bag contained 10 gummies with a corresponding THC level of 10 mg per gummy. Only 2 packages were recovered.
According to Lt. Timothy A. Silva, the parents inspected the candy and came across the packages shown. No one ingested the candies and no injuries have been reported. The candy was obtained in the area of Gallup Lane in Waterford, CT. Officers have completed a neighborhood canvas and the investigation is on-going.
At this time, it is unknown if the candy was intentionally handed out or was an unintentional oversight by the owner. Currently Connecticut Medical Marijuana dispensaries are not authorized to sell edible candies.
Anyone with information is requested to contact the WPD at 860-442-9451.
