A POSTER campaign for people not wanting to be intimidated by "trick or treat" has been launched by police.
West Mercia Constabulary have published a poster for people who do not want to take part in the tradition of Trick or Treat.
The poster can be displayed on windows or doors, warning track or treaters not to call at the property.
A police spokesman said they were committed to reducing incidents of anti social behaviour, which may be linked to Halloween.
"We want all those who wish to celebrate Halloween to have an enjoyable and safe experience and to ensure those who do not wish to participate in the tradition of Trick or Treat have the opportunity to make their views known in a polite and clear way," he said.
"With this in mind, the force is producing a poster designed to be stuck in windows and doors, making it clear that Trick or Treat is not welcome. In addition we are also producing a simple crime prevention leaflet to target those who will be taking part in Halloween traditions with some personal safety advice. This is particularly aimed at school age children and is being sent to all schools in the force area for them to use as they wish to inform their pupils," he added.
The poster will be available in the next few days for collection from police station front counters at Worcester, Droitwich, Evesham, Malvern and Pershore.http://www.worcesternews.co.uk/news/wnnewslatest/display.var.1743347.0.anti_trick_or_treat_poster_launched.php
