Trick or Treater Robbed of Candy

Trick or Treater Robbed of Candy

A 12-year-old boy who was trick-or-treating was punched and robbed of his candy in Carlsbad Monday night by people wearing masks, according to Carlsbad Police Department.

One Halloween night, between three and five men pulled up to the boy in a 4-door vehicle. The boy was close to his home on Corvidae Street near Calidris Lane, according to police.

One of the men assaulted the boy by punching him in the throat and chest, taking the boy's candy. The assailants then fled the scene.

Police do not know exactly how many people were involved. The car used by the suspects is described as older with potentially tinted windows and possibly a primer-gray color.

Police also are unsure if the boy was alone or with people when the attack occurred.
