Ontario police probe several incidents involving trick or treaters on Halloween
A number of police forces across Ontario are investigating incidents which dampened the fun for certain trick or treaters on Halloween.
Police laid charges against one man for allegedly throwing firecrackers at kids and are searching for other people who allegedly gave a child loose prescription pills with their candy and, in another incident, small bottles of what might be alcohol.
The only incident to involve criminal charges so far took place in central Ontario on Monday night.
Provincial police with the Peterborough, Ont., detachment say they were called around 7:30 p.m. after receiving a report that a trick or treater had been struck by a firework thrown by an intoxicated man.
