Police have moved to reassure parents after receiving a number of reports of potentially contaminated treats handed out to children.
a police spokesperson said ‘We are aware of a number of posts on social media regarding concerns relating to sweets given out to children ‘trick or treating’ in the Walcot area last night.
‘We have received two calls in relation to this and we do not believe the sweets have been contaminated on either occasion.
’If you have concerns regarding any sweets collected by your children this Halloween, please discard of them immediately.’
