Police launch ‘Sorry... no trick or treat this Halloween’ campaign
Police in Honiton are taking steps to ensure Halloween is a happy and safe time for everyone.
The ‘Sorry... no trick or treat this Halloween’ campaign is encouraging residents who do not want to be disturbed by trick-or-treaters to place the poster on the front door or in a prominent window of their home.
PCSO Steve Mingo, said: “Halloween activities are really popular and have grown immensely in recent years. For many people it is a fun event, where you get the chance to dress up and go out with friends.
“We’re not here to ruin people’s fun but we would urge trick-or-treaters to be aware that some people do not want to be disturbed. We would ask people not to call at homes displaying this poster.”
