It was an invasion of the lolly snatchers throughout the suburbs on Halloween night with multiple candy pinchers caught on camera.

Luckily, many homes now have security cameras to catch these Halloween Grinches.
Chris Reagon from Carine thought he’d give this group of lolly lovers a bit of a trick with their treat.
