Halloween night was more of a treat than a trick for Prince George RCMP.
Police responded to 124 calls, up from 113 in 2022, but well below the 154 calls received in 2021 and fewer than the average of 140 calls for Oct. 31.
On Tuesday, the RCMP responded to nine incidents of people involved suspicious events and five reports of mischief.
“The ghosts and ghouls roaming about on Halloween were not much scarier than they have been any other year,” said Cpl. Jennifer Cooper, Prince George RCMP media relations officer.
“Being a mid-week event this year, it likely had people returning home a littler earlier and partying more responsibly than when Halloween is on a weekend.”
