POSTED: 2:03 pm CST November 3, 2005

DALE CITY, Va. -- It's not hard to get candy on Halloween -- but police in Dale City, Va., said some kids apparently resorted to robbery to get theirs.

Police said an 11-year-old boy was trick-or-treating Monday night when two other boys approached. Police told the Potomac News one boy pulled what's believed to be a BB gun and heisted the kid's candy. The victim said his attackers appeared to be between 10 and 12 years old.

A short time before, at the same corner, authorities said a 12-year-old boy reported being pushed from behind by two other kids who stole his candy.
