Prince George RCMP are urging trick or treaters to check their candy after receiving a report that a pencil sharpener blade was found in a small chocolate bar.
The child, who was not harmed, was going door-to-door in the Ospika Boulevard area between Ferry Avenue and Rainbow Drive on Halloween night, RCMP said.
School District 57 reported the discovery to RCMP on Wednesday afternoon.
RCMP said these types of incidents are extremely rare but urged caution nonetheless.
"Throw out treats with damaged packaging, slice fruit, and avoid homemade treats from people you do not trust," RCMP said.
The investigation is continuing.
