Police are encouraging parents, caregivers and children to celebrate Halloween safely by following some simple safety tips.
To help get the message out there police have this year produced an online video starring a group of Wellington children that features simple ideas children can follow in order to stay safe while still having plenty of Halloween fun.
Tips in the Halloween video include always going trick or treating with an adult, staying in areas that are well lit, only visiting houses where you know the residents, and being careful not to scare elderly people.
National Prevention Manager Superintendent Bruce Bird says, "Kids are more likely to listen to their peers. It's great to see kids taking our prevention advice onboard and sharing it in their own way."
