Mounties out of Chestermere, Alta., say half a dozen teens wrecked Halloween for at least one kid Thursday night.

Chestermere RCMP say a youth was threatened for Halloween candy by five or six teens.

According to RCMP, the teens had what appeared to be a machete and a gun, and they bear-sprayed the youth, who tried to flee.

It's possible they left in a red Volkswagen car.
