Authorities have taken a man into custody after he allegedly placed razor blades into pizza dough intended for supermarket shoppers.
Nicholas Mitchell, 38, was being sought by police after a customer at a grocery store in Maine reported finding the razor blades hidden inside of a prepackaged Portland Pie pizza dough that had been purchased from a Hannaford's Supermarket.
Police said Mitchell was a former associate at a company that produced supplies for Portland Pie.
On Sunday, the Saco Police Department announced on Facebook that a nearby department in New Hampshire had taken Mitchell into custody in connection with the food tampering case.
