A man arrested after children found cocaine amongst sweets collected at Halloween has pleaded guilty to possession of drugs.
Two snap bags of the class A drug were identified by the police officer father of children trick-or-treating in Royton, Oldham, Greater Manchester.
Donald Junior Green, 23, told Oldham magistrates he would not knowingly have given drugs to children.
The court heard Green from Oldham was mortified by his "terrible mistake".
The apprentice panel beater said he handed two packets of what he thought were Haribo sweets to the children while at his girlfriend's house in Mendip Close.
He realised his mistake when he put his hand in his pocket and discovered packets of sweets instead of the cocaine, for which he had earlier paid £200.
He said he went out to try to get the drugs back but he could not find the children, who are aged eight, six and five
