Sherbrooke, November 25, 2024 – An investigation is underway after a father reported finding a razor blade in a bag of candy distributed during the Santa Claus Parade in Sherbrooke.

The complainant was with his two children at the intersection of King East Street and 14th Avenue when they received two candy bags from two women described as white and in their fifties. Upon inspecting the candy, the father discovered a razor blade concealed among the treats in one of the bags.

The razor blade has been seized by police for analysis, and an investigation is ongoing to identify those responsible.
