City police are investigating yet another incident of someone putting razor blades in child's candy and handing it out during trick or treating Halloween night.

This time it's in the Delaware,  Douglas, and Hillcrest Street area of North Bay.

The family victimized in this latest crime told BayToday, "Found a piece of metal in a Wonderbar after checking my son's candy last night. We reported it to police and my spouse went with police to show them the nine or 10 houses they went to. The police took the candy bar so hopefully they'll find out which house it came from.

"No one got injured at all. I noticed the wrapper was open on one side and saw it sticking out a little bit. Since it was reported we have not heard anything back from the police at all."

Police spokesperson Marie Lugli says the family was going house to house between 5:30 and 6:30. They reported their find to police at 8:30 that evening.

"When they dumped the candy on the floor the chocolate bar fell out of its wrapper and had a razor blade in it so we're investigating," said Lugli."That's all we have right now."

No other complaints of tampered Halloween treats have been reported this year.

But it's not the first time razor blades have been put into local children's treat bags.
