Nail Found in Girl’s Halloween Chocolate Egg in Dinkelsbühl Triggers Police Investigation

Police are assessing if the nail points to criminal tampering versus a production flaw.

Overview

  • A mother discovered a two-centimeter nail inside a small filled chocolate egg collected by her 12-year-old daughter while trick-or-treating in Dinkelsbühl in the Ansbach district.
  • Investigators notified the parents of children who accompanied the girl and checked remaining sweets for hazards.
  • Authorities report no injuries and no additional candy with dangerous objects identified to date.
  • In a separate case, a juvenile in Freilassing allegedly threw a banger toward three girls, and police are investigating attempted dangerous bodily harm after no one was hurt.
  • Police across Bavaria recorded numerous calls over disturbances, vandalism and illegal fireworks, yet described the Halloween night as largely peaceful overall.
