Police give Halloween safety advice
A spokesperson said: "This Halloween, we want you to have a safe, fun and rewarding time. So we're offering advice to whitewalkers, clowns, witches and wizards, as well as the general public."
The advice given includes:
"If you see a home displaying 'no trick-or-treat' posters please respect this. Instead, visit a home that's welcoming visitors - you can usually tell as these are displaying illuminated pumpkins and other decorations.
"Trick-or-treaters should never go into a stranger's house.

"October nights are dark so keep to well-lit areas. Wear bright clothing and/or reflective strips, and always carry a torch.
"Remember to be safe near roads and driveways, even around quieter residential areas."
