COLDBROOK, N.S. — Police in Nova Scotia are investigating after a parent reported finding an edible cannabis product among their child’s Halloween candy.

RCMP say the parent from Coldbrook, N.S., told investigators their child was among eight kids who were trick-or-treating in the Annapolis Valley region Thursday night.

Mounties say the parent later found a Halloween-themed package containing several jujube-type candies inside.

Stickers on the back of the package included information regarding the product’s THC content, as well as a logo featuring a marijuana leaf.

The parent told police it was unclear where the package came from as the children had visited homes in Cambridge, Kentville and Coldbrook.
