In Germany, police are investigating more than 80 incidents involving Halloween candies with needles and pins hidden inside.
The dangerous discoveries left at least two children injured in Lower Saxony and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. It is known that in Bremerförde a girl injured her tongue with a five centimeter pin hidden in a chocolate bar.
The largest number of emergency cases was registered in Bavaria - 25 cases. Law enforcement officers and experts interviewed by the German publication BILD suggest that the attackers acted in a coordinated manner as part of a destructive challenge on TikTok. In this regard, the German police urges parents to carefully check all treats before the next children's party.
