Our group has candies/snacks in our area all the time. We noticed that one guy from the other team come in and take a candy almost everyday. Should we confront him in person and tell him to stop? Should we send him a email? What would be the best way to resolve this problem without offending him?

I'd just say politely--"Hey I noticed you were looking around. We took away the money jar. Sarah picked up the last batch so just give your money to her."
Very casual. Non-confrontational and assumes that he was going to pay just didn't know WHO to pay. Of course this is more than likely not true, but better to assume.
Another option is just to move it to another area in the office so that he has to awkwardly looking around for it. He'll get the hint.

Trust me the police are useless at these types of events. Times like this require drastic action. Follow him to the parking lot when nobody is looking and stick him or fill him with lead. That will solve the problem. If you're a pacifist you could invest in a taser gun and zap his butt the next time he comes around.

Write a large note that states the food is reserved for the employees that work in that area and place it by the food. If he is cheeky enough to take something after reading the note, say something to him about the snacks are for the people who chipped in to buy them, not the general public.

The next time he is seen taking candy, politely ask him if he would like to contribute to the fund which pays for it. I'll bet he would be happy to do so OR he would get the hint.

Put a mouse trap in the candy dish and tell everyone in your group to not eat any that day.

Just let him have the candy. It's one candy a day. He isn't hogging the bowl. Life is short.

I think you just ask him to contribute (I'm assuming this is community food that everyone just contributes to). Either do this directly or by putting up a little sign that says, "You are welcome to a treat, but remember to contribute too!" or something."
If you really don't want to share, fund a different place for the community food.
