Anyone breaking the law over the Halloween period will be dealt with '˜robustly' by police.

That was the stark warning from Supterintendent David Moore who said, “Police in Armagh Banbridge and Craigavon District are appealing for parents, youth and community leaders to assist in making this year’s festivities safe and fun.”

He went on: “The weeks prior to and after Halloween are becoming an increasingly busy time of the year for the Police Service. We continually receive reports of criminal damage and youths causing annoyance to vulnerable people within the area. We want to make it clear that anyone caught breaking the law will be dealt with robustly.
