Trick or Treat – Poster Download

We have just received the following from eCops:

Hello all

Following on from my message earlier in the week, please find our new “No Trick of Treating here”  poster which you can print off and put in your window or on your door should you  not wish to participate in Halloween activities.

For those of you  who will be enjoying Halloween:-

please Remember…

Stay with an adult at all times while trick or treating
Visit neighbours and people that you know
Look out for pumpkins – houses that welcome trick or treaters usually have pumpkins on display
Some people do not enjoy being scared by spooky costumes. If you see a “no trick or treat” sign respect it and move on to the next house.
Most importantly… stay safe and have fun!

If you feel that you are a victim of crime or anti- social behaviour during this event then please contact the police on 101.

Cambridgeshire Constabulary wishes you all an enjoyable evening and weekend.
