Erie County Sheriffs are investigating a complaint from a concerned parent of a piece of metal found lodged in a Nestle Crunch minibar. Detectives were dispatched to a Clarence home and saw the pin embedded in the candy and proof the wrapper was compromised.

Anyone who went trick-or-treating in the Clarence neighborhood near the following streets is warned to collect all candy and thoroughly check the packaging for defects and foreign objects: Chelsey Court and Westminster Drive, as well as an Amherst neighborhood with the following streets: Forestview Drive, Crestwood Lane, Oakview Drive, Timberlane Drive, and Timberlane Court.

Parents and guardians should examine all candy and the wrapper for any defects, tears, holes, or any abnormality before it’s given to children or other individuals.

The sheriff’s office is working Kaleida Health to offer free x-rays of candy collected in those neighborhoods. Individuals can take the candy to Millard Fillmore Suburban Hospital and Great Lakes Medical Imagining on Park Club Lane in Amherst for imaging during normal business hours.

Anyone who went trick-or-treating in those neighborhoods and discovers a foreign object in a piece of candy is asked to preserve the candy and contact the Erie County Sheriff’s Office at 716-858-2903.
