Mum disgusted after finding blade hidden in sweet after trick-or-treat on Halloween

A mum was horrified to find a "pencil sharpener blade" hidden inside a sweet after her children went trick or treating on Halloween night.

Lindsey Dickinson, of Cleethorpes, saw a "strange-looking" sweet among the treats her two children brought home. She said her son picked up the orange Fruitella sweet with the intention of eating it and saw what looked like a "green line". On closer inspection, she found the blade hidden inside.

She told Grimsby Live the youngsters went out at 5pm and were trick-or-treating for an hour and a half, before attending a party at a church. She added: "When we got home, at about 7pm, they were all excited and were telling me how much they got and about all the things they'd seen and how much fun they'd had.
