Surrey Police will again be working with its partners to tackle anti-social behaviour during the Halloween and Bonfire Night period and to make it clear to potential trouble makers that criminal offences will not be tolerated.
They have mailed the county’s supermarkets and convenience stores to enlist their help in refusing the sale of eggs and flour if it is suspected the goods will be used by trick or treaters. Responsible retailers can play a big role in helping deter anti-social behaviour associated with what should be peaceful and family orientated activities, and the force is grateful for the support of local businesses.
In addition, ‘no trick or treat’ cards are available from local Safer Neighbourhood teams and posters will be on display to reinforce radio, newspaper and social media communications.
