Devon & Cornwall Police is encouraging those who celebrate Halloween to make it an enjoyable and safe time for everyone.
If you’re going trick-or-treating this Halloween, have fun and be safe, but remember not everyone wants you to call at their home.
The ‘Sorry, no trick or treat this Halloween’ campaign encourages members of the public who do not want to be bothered by trick-or-treaters to download and print an advisory poster and place it in the front door or window. You can download the poster from www.dc.police.uk/halloween
Adults should always accompany children when they are trick-or-treating and only go to houses of people you know and who are happy for you to call. Be careful of lantern flames igniting costumes.
