A bunch of ghouls pulled a nasty trick for treats.
A group of masked-up fiendish thieves terrorized trick-or-treaters in an Oregon town, “forcibly” snatching candy bags from children on Halloween, police said.
The creepy crew was decked out in ghoulish all-black attire and ski masks as they swiped sweets from costumed revelers, the Lincoln City Police Department said.
Cops received “multiple reports” about the sticky-fingered bunch from residents, who said they “are forcibly stealing candy baskets from children who are trick-or-treating,” Lincoln police said in a statement posted on Facebook.
“They came and asked my daughter for candy, thankfully her uncle called her inside,” one local commented under the post. “You’re getting free candy guys, knock it off!!!”
The Halloweenies were identified as a “group of males,” police said.
It’s unclear how many unfestive thieves were out boosting goodies from the youngsters, and cops didn’t provide a suspected age.
The ghastly gang was last seen on Northeast Voyage Avenue near Northeast Port Lane, police said.
Theft using force is charged as robbery in Oregon, cops said.
The Lincoln City Police Department is asking anyone with information about the Halloween haters to contact the department.
