Neighbourhood policing Inspector, Paul Morgan, said: "Halloween activities are really popular and have grown immensely in recent years. For many people it is a fun event, where you get the chance to dress up and go out with friends.
"Whilst not wishing to discourage any of that, we ask trick-or-treaters to consider that there are some people, particularly elderly and vulnerable, who get worried if strangers call at the door during the evening.
"We're not here to ruin people's fun but we would urge trick-or-treaters to be aware that some people do not want to be disturbed. We would ask people not to call at homes displaying this poster."
The poster can also be obtained from local police teams or from Charles Cross station between 8am and 10pm and Crownhill station which open Tuesday to Friday 10am to 7pm and Saturday between 9am and 2pm.

“Whilst supervised childred or those with common sense will heed this poster, i fear it might only serve to provoke those with empty heads into other more devious actions.”

“That is the most pathetic thing I have seen in a long time. Even worse then those sad people sitting behind the curtains with their lights of when a few youngsters come round for some treats.
The only thing wrong with trick or treating is the police's failure to deal with a handful of rowdy teenagers hijacking the event. And they expect to solve that with a sticker???”
