Police: cough syrup given out to trick-or-treaters

NORTH READING, Mass. (AP) — Police say a North Reading resident was giving out cough syrup to trick-or-treaters on Halloween.

In a Facebook post, police in the town about 18 miles north of Boston say they received a report of a residence leaving out samples of Hyland’s 4 Kids Cold ‘n Mucus cough syrup Saturday.

They urged parents to check their children’s candy if they were in the Olde Farm Lane area.
