Police investigating needle found in Sydney apple

New South Wales police are investigating the discovery of a needle inserted into an apple in Sydney’s north-west.

7 News exclusively confirmed that the needle was found inside the apple after a mother in Sydney suburb Kellyville found the needle whilst peeling the piece of fruit for her daughters on Tuesday morning.

"I just thought wow this can not be happening," she told 7. "I actually thought these were safe".

7 journalist Robert Ovadia has reported that the retail giant is aware of the issue, however the apples are still available to purchase for now.
