There were 16 incidents of rocks and eggs thrown at vehicles, none of which resulted in injury.

There was a total of 79 arrests, 43 of which were for warrants.

"Despite cautionary advice to motorists about drinking and driving, there were eight arrests for driving while impaired four women and four men. There were also three arrests for driving while disqualified. Thirteen [persons] were arrested for drugs and five for dishonesty offences," a Police spokesman said.

Members of the Bermuda Reserve Police supported the regular officers on patrol between Friday and Sunday.

Continued the spokesman: "Although the weekend was busy, the number of Halloween-related disorder incidents was notably less than anticipated making this one of the quietest Halloween events in many years."
