Police are investigating after an 11-year-old girl bit into a chocolate bar and found a razor blade hidden inside it Friday.

The girl was not injured.

It's the third such report from Toronto police since Halloween with other children finding a needle and a thumbtack buried in their candy.

In this case, the girl went trick-or-treating between College and Dundas streets, just east of Little Italy, a police statement said. She stayed within Manning and Palmerston avenues.

The other incidents happened in the Keele Street and Lawrence Avenue West area and in the Upper Beaches neighbourhood.
