Trick-or-treat children given cocaine in Oldham

Children were handed packets of cocaine instead of sweets on a Halloween trick-or-treating trip, Greater Manchester Police have said.

Two people have been arrested after bags containing the class A drug were handed to children in Royton on Wednesday evening, officers said.

The man and woman are suspected of possessing class A drugs.

Two bags of cocaine were recovered by police after children found them in their trick-or-treat bags.

It is understood the drugs were bought for personal use and ended up in with the bags of sweets by accident.
