Examples of packages with drug-laced candy

The Drug Enforcement Administration is warning area residents about potentially dangerous Halloween candy.

The DEA says people should look closely at the candy they receive when their kids go trick or treating because some drugs are sold in packages to look like traditional candies.
Some of the names are Munchy Way, Twixed and Keef Kat.

The DEA says local law enforcement should document any information regarding drug-laced candy and preserve any evidence to send to the DEA Laboratory for testing.
