HALLOWEEN will soon be with us and along with it comes the fairly new tradition of 'trick or treating'.
Police have issued their advice for staying safe on Halloween.
If you are planning to go trick or treating, please follow these simple guidelines
Adults should always accompany young children - Never let youngsters go trick or treating on their own.
Do not knock on the doors of strangers - only visit the homes of people you know.
Never accept an invitation to go inside a strangers home.
Always keep to well lit areas; wear bright clothing, carry a torch and remember road safety.
Unless pre-arranged, do not visit elderly members of your community.
Be careful not to frighten vulnerable people.
Keep any tricks within the law. Anything that results in damage or other offences will be dealt with accordingly.
