The woman is expected to face unspecified charges on Sunday evening. A nationwide investigation was launched after shocked shoppers first reported the contamination in September. There were over 100 reports of needles being found in strawberries, though many were suspected to be copycat cases or social media stunts. The first cases emerged in Queensland, where a man was taken to the hospital with stomach pains after eating strawberries. Police say they will claim "aggravation", raising the maximum to 10 years. Officials did not provide details about the woman or the charges she will face.
