No foul play

Summerside Police Services says it received a report on Nov. 8 that a pin was located inside a chocolate bar on Halloween.

A concerned mother called the police after her son showed her the chocolate with the pin inside.

The complainant also made a Facebook post about the incident, which was shared hundreds of times, warning others to be careful.

Police inspected the bar and determined that the pin inside was the same type of pin found on a Remembrance Day poppy pin.

After speaking further with the complainant and her son, police discovered that the pin came from within the complainant’s home and was not received from an unknown source.

There is no public safety concern stemming from this incident and the matter has been deemed unfounded.
