Provincial police near North Bay are investigating after a suspicious substance was found in a potato chip bag handed out on Halloween night.
Investigators say a family in the northern Ontario community of Mattawa, located 60 kilometres east of North Bay, reported finding a chip bag that appeared to have been cut open and resealed. A preliminary test of the contents indicated the presence of morphine.
Police say they are trying to determine where the bag came from.
