A candy-filled treasure chest placed at the marker of a popular trail has left locals scratching their heads.

The chest 㽶Ƶֱ marked 㽶ƵֱOpen: free candie㽶Ƶֱ was found along the Mountain View Community Trail in Agassiz; it㽶Ƶֱs not clear who left the chest, and it does not immediately appear that tampering with the candy had taken place.

Andra Hachey posted pictures on social media after her son returned from a walk to tell her about the chest.

㽶ƵֱIt goes against every thing people teach their kids about personal safety,㽶Ƶֱ Hachey wrote. 㽶ƵֱI get that some people enjoy this type of thing. But, to me, this goes a bit too far. There are bears and raccoons that could get into something like this and it could potentially make the trail unsafe for others.㽶Ƶֱ

Hachey added that she contacted the local RCMP due to the 㽶Ƶֱvery slim possibility that the candy is unsafe.㽶Ƶֱ

Locals had mixed feelings about the anonymous candy cache, with several supporting Hachey㽶Ƶֱs course of action.

Hachey updated the post later that night to report an RCMP officer removed the candy and left his card and a note asking that the individual not to place candy on the trail again.

Hachey later told The Observer that she had not heard from the RCMP or the box㽶Ƶֱs owner. She was later informed that the box had since been refilled with candy.
