You know all those warnings about checking your kids’ Halloween candy?

A Cape Cod police department is reporting that a family found dangerous items in their Snickers and Twix after trick-or-treating this week.

The Sandwich Police Department is investigating after an 8-year-old boy reportedly found a sewing needle inside a piece of Halloween candy.

Police on Wednesday evening responded to a home, where a mother said her son noticed something poking out of his Halloween candy — a Snickers “fun size” bar.

The wrapper had a puncture hole, and a sewing needle was found inside the candy bar, police reported.

The boy’s mother then checked her other children’s candy, and she found a Twix candy bar that also had a sewing needle.

The family went trick-or-treating along the Main Street area of Sandwich.
