LYNN HAVEN — A child lied about finding a razor blade in his Halloween candy Thursday, according to the Panama City Beach Police Department.
Police reported responding about 8:45 p.m. to a home in Lynn Haven to talk to the child who made the complaint. After investigating, police discovered the child had fabricated the incident. It was unclear why. Further details on the incident were not released.
Police departments first began responding to such incidents in the late 70s, when razor blades, pins, needles and glass started being found in some Halloween candy. The National Confectioners Association has reported that Halloween candy tampering is extremely rare today.
