Trick or treating? Police warn of dangerous Halloween pranks!
Halloween is just around the corner and the anticipation is great! On October 31st, streets are transformed into a spooky spectacle as children, teenagers and adults parade around in spooky costumes collecting sweets with the slogan “Trick or treat”. But what happens if the neighbors react unfriendly or don't open the door at all? The police have clear tips for parents and children to ensure an unforgettable and safe evening.
The police warn: If there are no sweets, the children's frustration could turn into unpleasant pranks! But be careful! A harmless joke can quickly turn into a serious offense. In recent years, the Swabia South/West Police Headquarters has noticed an increase in crimes on Halloween. To prevent this, the police will be increasingly on duty this evening.
Important tips for a safe Halloween
Parents should ensure that their children are always accompanied by an adult. Clarifying the route beforehand helps to provide orientation, especially when it is dark. Fixed meeting points are important in case children lose their group. In addition, the little ones should always have a partner to ensure that no one gets lost.
Another important point: road safety! Children should be clearly visible, for example with high-visibility vests or flashlights. And after collecting the candy, it is essential to check it to make sure there are no dangerous products. The police are available as friends and helpers, and children should know that if they have problems they can immediately approach the police.
