Halloween sparks increase in antisocial behaviour

FINE GAEL last night warned of an increase in antisocial behaviour in the run-up to the October Bank Holiday weekend as Halloween pranks get out of hand.

Louts are throwing crackers at petrol pumps, lobbing fireworks at moving cars and blowing up dustbins, putting the public at risk of injury and upset.

FG senator Joe McHugh said his constituents in Co Donegal were already reporting a rising tide of antisocial behaviour.
