The person was instructed to not hand out any more candy that night and turn off their lights in the front of the house to deter other trick-or-treaters.

Due to this singular incident, police are urging other parents B次元官网网址� particularly those who went trick-or-treating in the James Bay area to check all their childrenB次元官网网址檚 candy and report anything out of the ordinary to your local police detachment.

Based on conversation w the occupants, it is likely that only the one package of marihuana gummies was handed out.
