A Halloween candy conundrum that spooked an entire Maryland town turned out to be nothing more than a “hoax” created by a wily 9-year-old who stuffed a sewing needle inside a bag of their own candy, authorities said.
Police in Rockville, Maryland, advised families to “inspect all candy” on Halloween after receiving a report that a child found a needle in their Trick-or-Treating haul.
Authorities pinned the blame on a home somewhere in the area of Welsh Drive and W. Edmonston Drive and warned locals that two kids were given standard packages of gummy bears with a troubling surprise: a sewing needle embedded in the gelatin treats.
