Police Patroling Gate Night

Provincial police will be out in force tonight to ensure so-called Gate night activities are kept to a minimum.

Typically police receive a number of calls regarding acts of mischief on the night before Halloween.

Constable Anne McCoy says whether its eggs tossed at homes or soap on the window, its still a crime.

"We're aware of that," says McCoy, "that people do go out and make these choices. But we need to come together as a community and we need to keep our eyes and ears open and know who's in our community and if they are acting suspicious."

McCoy says if anyone sees anything suspicious in their neighbourhoods call police.
