On October 31 at approximately 9:30 p.m., Kings District RCMP responded to a call in Coldbrook indicating a parent had found cannabis edibles in their child’s Halloween treats. The package has a Halloween-themed label on the front and contains several jujube candies inside. A sticker on the back of the package indicates THC content of the candies, which alerted the parent.

Kings District RCMP seized the item. The parent advised police they had a group of eight children with them and were out trick-or-treating in the areas of Cambridge, Kentville, and Coldbrook and do not know which home the cannabis edibles came from.
