德国多地万圣节糖果中发现针头与金属异物：警方在多个州展开调查
万圣节过后，德国多地儿童在讨来的糖果中发现针头、钉子、螺丝等金属异物，警方已在图林根州、巴登-符腾堡州、巴伐利亚州、下萨克森州与莱茵兰-普法尔茨州等多个州展开调查。据德新社等德国媒体11月1日至2日的报道，涉及的糖果包括巧克力棒、嚼糖与华夫脆片等单独包装的糖果，多数发现尚无儿童受伤的报告。
在图林根州艾希斯费尔德县的 Wintzingerode，儿童拆开糖果时发现了金属针。图林根州警方认为这些糖果是被人故意做过手脚、意图造成伤害，已按涉嫌企图危险身体伤害展开调查。在巴登-符腾堡州的 Filderstadt，两个家庭在孩子带回的牛奶榛子脆片中发现多根针；在巴伐利亚州的 Landshut，家长在嚼糖与巧克力棒中发现尖锐金属件与螺丝。
也有个案经调查后排除了人为因素：莱茵兰-普法尔茨州 Appenheim 一名9岁男孩在一颗嚼糖上发现两枚直径约2毫米的小磁体，警方调查后表示，磁体系意外混入、并非第三方故意放置。
警方提醒家长，在孩子食用讨来的糖果前先逐一检查；如发现可疑糖果，应连同包装一并保存、不要自行取出异物以免破坏痕迹，并联系当地警方。德国联邦刑事警察局表示，这类被做过手脚的糖果现象往年也曾出现，该局未就此类案件单独立项统计。
Needles and Metal Objects Found in Halloween Candy Across Germany: Police Investigating in Multiple States
In the days after Halloween, children in several parts of Germany found needles, nails, screws and other metal objects in candy they had collected while trick-or-treating, and police have opened investigations in multiple states, including Thuringia, Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Lower Saxony and Rhineland-Palatinate. According to dpa and other German media reports on November 1–2, the items were found in individually wrapped sweets such as chocolate bars, chewy candies and wafer slices; in most of the reported cases, no child was injured.
In Wintzingerode, in Thuringia's Eichsfeld district, children found metal needles while unwrapping their candy. Thuringian police said they believe the sweets were deliberately tampered with in order to cause injury and are investigating on suspicion of attempted dangerous bodily harm. In Filderstadt, Baden-Württemberg, two families found needles in milk-and-hazelnut wafer slices their children had brought home, and in Landshut, Bavaria, parents found sharp metal pieces and screws in chewy candies and chocolate bars.
One case was cleared of third-party involvement: in Appenheim, Rhineland-Palatinate, a nine-year-old boy found two small magnets, about two millimetres across, on a chewy candy. Police said after investigating that the magnets had ended up in the candy by accident, not through deliberate tampering.
Police advised parents to inspect collected candy before children eat it, to keep any suspicious sweets together with their packaging without removing foreign objects — so that traces are preserved — and to contact local police. Germany's Federal Criminal Police Office said the phenomenon of tampered candy has appeared in previous years and that it does not keep separate statistics for such cases.
