Police will not tolerate youngsters throwing eggs at vehicles this Halloween, warned Police Superintendent Roseanda Young yesterday. There will be in excess of 100 officers on duty over Halloween tasked with ensuring there is no trouble ? and anyone caught could misbehaving could well find themselves prosecuted.

?We would like to urge parents to be vigilant in terms of what their children are doing. Last year we asked for them to be vigilant as to whether eggs and fruit were being stored up to use as missiles, and this year we are asking for their assistance again,? she added.

?We also ask young people to refrain from this type of behaviour because it can cause very serious road accidents and can be very frightening for other members of the public.?
