A group of boys or men wearing all-black clothing and ski masks allegedly swiped candy baskets from multiple children who were out trick-or-treating in Lincoln City on Halloween night. The Lincoln City Police Department is now investigating the reports and asking anyone with information to come forward.
According to KPTV, the department is investigating after reports of a group of boys or men who allegedly stole candy baskets from multiple children. Witnesses reportedly last saw the group near Northeast Voyage Avenue and Northeast Port, according to the same report.
Masked Group Described Near Northeast Voyage Avenue
The group's distinctive look — matching black clothing paired with ski masks — was a key detail witnesses passed along to officers. That description, paired with the sighting near Northeast Voyage Avenue and Northeast Port, is what investigators are currently working from as they try to piece together what happened, per the station's report.
As KOIN reported, the Lincoln City Police Department said it is seeking the group of candy thieves accused of taking baskets from trick-or-treating children, with the group reportedly seen near Northeast Voyage Avenue and Northeast Port Lane.
