Tampered potatoes from P.E.I. have reached other parts of Atlantic Canada.
Over the last few days, police received three reports of tampered potatoes, one in Neil’s Harbour, Nova Scotia, one in Musgrave Harbour, Newfoundland and one in Chance Cove, Newfoundland.
All the potatoes contained a metal object.
Police believe the potatoes originated from Linkletter Farms in P.E.I.
The RCMP Major Crime Unit, Forensic Identification Unit and members of the East Prince RCMP Detachment continue to investigate.
Potatoes from this farm may have been sold throughout Atlantic Canada.
The RCMP is asking anyone who finds one to call the East Prince, P.E.I., detachment at 902-436-9300.
