The Wilson County Sheriff's Office is asking parents to check their child’s Halloween treats after a needle was reportedly found in a piece of candy.

According to the sheriff's office, deputies took a report Wednesday night in Mt. Juliet after a mother noticed a candy wrapper had been altered.

A needle was then located in the piece of candy, authorities said.

It was not immediately known where the candy came from. "It’s hard to pinpoint at this moment because it involves multiple areas and more than one county," the sheriff's office tweeted Thursday morning.

"Please check your candy to ensure that it is properly sealed and has not been altered," the department posted.

As Thursday afternoon, no other departments in that area had reported similar incidents.

This is a developing story.
