COCONUT CREEK, FLA. (WSVN) - Coconut Creek Police want to warn parents after officers seized drug-laced gummy bears during a traffic stop last week.
The department said they arrested a man and woman on drug charges following a traffic stop Friday night.
Officers found over a dozen gummy bears containing THC, or Tetrahydrocannabinol, the main psychoactive ingredient in marijuana.
The drug-laced candy was packaged in individual baggies.
“As you can see, they don’t look any different from regular gummy bears, which is why we want parents to be educated that these items are out there,” police said in a Twitter post. “We encourage parents to talk to their kids, particularly teens and middle schoolers, about their concerns with these THC gummy bears.”
