Hopkinton Police Investigate Suspicious Items Given out on Halloween

The Hopkinton Police Department is actively investigating two separate reports of a suspicious item being given to children who were trick or treating on Halloween night. This Sunday two separate parents reported that their children were given a toilet tank cleaner product. The children are six and fourteen years old. The poison was discovered upon inspection of the candy. These discs were wrapped in white wrapping and were not consumed by the children

We are actively interviewing witnesses in the community. Through our investigation we have learned that both children were trick or treating in the downtown area. The Hopkinton Police Department urges everyone to be vigilant and to check all candy before you or your family consume any.
