Two Marysville families were the victim of a terrifying Halloween trick.

A 12-year-old boy found a nail in a mini Snickers bar and a 10-year-old boy discovered a screw in a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup.

The first family immediately called Marysville police and the second is in the process of filing a report.

Police told Joanna Small for her report on KIRO 7 News at 6 p.m. that it is unlikely they will catch the culprit.
