Medication believed to have been accidentally given out to trick-or-treaters in a Greater Victoria suburb has been found in another area of the home.

West Shore RCMP issued a release Halloween night after a resident in their 80s contacted the department. The senior thought they had mistakenly given out at least four yellow containers containing Apo-levocarb (medication used to treat Parkinson鈥檚 disease) as it was near the candy bowl.

At approximately noon on Nov. 1, West Shore RCMP confirmed the medication had been found within another area of the Colwood home and was not inadvertently handed out to trick-or-treaters.

鈥淲e thank the public for their understanding. This was a concerning situation where we notified the public due to the initial belief the medication had been handed out mistakenly during Halloween,鈥� said West Shore RCMP鈥檚 Cpl. Nancy Saggar, in an updated statement.
