New Zealand police have issued a Halloween warning about methamphetamine disguised as lollies. Each "lolly" contains 3 grams of meth, equivalent to 300 doses of the drug.

The concern arose after these meth lollies were found in a food parcel from Auckland City Mission. Police have accounted for 61 blocks of meth, with 34 recovered.

Authorities believe there may still be 75 of these disguised lollies in the community. They urge the public to be vigilant while trick-or-treating tonight.
