BENTON COUNTY — Law enforcement authorities are investigating after police took a report Thursday night involving a 12-year-old girl biting into a sewing needle embedded in a kit-kat bar, according to a social media report from police in Benton.

The candy was reported being collected in the Warsaw area, according to police.

It is unclear who or how the needle ended up in the treat. Police reported on their social media page, “It’s a sick demented individual who would do such an act. Parents, check your children’s candy. Door to door trick or treating is nearing its end and your Trunk or Treats from the Churches, schools and cities are a safer idea.”
