A couple in the US state of Wisconsin found a small bag of crystal meth in their child's Halloween trick-or-treat candy.
The couple from Keshena found the suspicious package and immediately turned it over to the police, who confirmed that the white crystals were methamphetamine, a hallucinogenic drug, reports Xinhua news agency.
Luckily the child did not consume the drug.
"The police is asking the community to check their children's Halloween candy thoroughly," authorities said on Monday.
"If anything suspicious is located, please contact the Menominee Tribal Police Department."
Trick-or-treating is a Halloween tradition, when children dress up in costumes and go from door to door and asking their neighbours for "treats".
