Halloween Advisory
Halloween is almost upon us, and the Bermuda Police Service would like to remind the public that officers will be deployed before Halloween and during Halloween night to ensure that the occasion is enjoyed by all. As Halloween approaches we would also like to advise shopkeepers to be especially vigilant about whom they sell eggs to, and to be wary of individuals attempting to purchase large quantities of eggs. Let's all work together to make this Halloween a safe and uneventful one.
