Halloween advice for residents

Halloween advice for residents
By Matt White Wed, 31 October 2012 2:51PM

Residents who don't want to be disturbed by trick or treaters on Halloween have been urged to display this poster.

Island police said they will be targeting hotspot areas across the Isle of Wight during Halloween and Bonfire Night, to ensure people are respecting others in their neighbourhood.

Hampshire Constabulary's neighbourhoods and partnership lead chief inspector Jerry Patterson said: "Every year, Hampshire Constabulary's force control room receives calls from people who have been frightened or disturbed by trick or treaters in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.

"We're not saying we don't want people to have fun at Halloween, we just want to impress upon those taking part the need to behave appropriately and to be considerate of others."

The poster can be downloaded and printed by searching for Halloween on www.hampshire.police.uk
