Authorities warn parents about meth pills being distributed to kids disguised as Halloween treats
Law enforcement in Dublin, Georgia are warning parents about methamphetamine pills that resemble candy and are being distributed among children
The Dublin Police Department has warned parents in a Georgia town last week to check their children's trick or treat bags after they found methamphetamine pills that had been manufactured to look like candy and were being distributed to kids. The department issued the warning via their Facebook page.
While authorities did not specifically mention which candy the drugs are meant to be in, they are allegedly similar to Sweet Tarts. These pills, which are already in circulation, have been "stamped" to intentionally resemble the confectionery, officers said.
That said, the department is yet to reveal how the pills came to their attention, Daily Mail reports.
