A police force has issued advice on how to prevent anti-social behaviour this Halloween.
Most people celebrate the annual holiday peacefully by dressing up as monsters, attending parties and trick or treating.
But some real-life ghouls often ruin it for everyone when they get involved in bad behaviour, including vandalism and theft.
Merseyside Police has issued some advice to help stop anti-social behaviour on the weekend before Halloween and Bonfire Night on 5 November.
Inspector Morgan says: ‘A lot of antisocial behaviour isn’t planned in advance – it’s opportunistic.
