Lincolnshire Police share poster to discourage visits from trick-or-treaters during Halloween period
Police have shared a poster designed to deter trick-or-treaters during Halloween.
With Halloween just around the corner, the custom of trick-or-treating will soon begin, with costumed youngsters walking from door-to-door asking for sweets.
Some houses indicate their willingness to take part in the tradition, usually with the placing of spooky decorations or pumpkins outside.
However, having trick-or-treaters come to the door is not something that everyone enjoys.
Lincolnshire Police has therefore created a poster for residents to place on their front door or window to let people know that they do not want trick-or-treaters to knock on their door this Halloween.
These posters are available to collect from the leaflet stand at Spalding Police Station or can be printed at home.
