Laredo Police Warn: Don't Be a Victim This Halloween, Like Michael Myers!
It's that time of year again: spooky costumes, trick-or-treating, and of course, Halloween. But while we're all excited for the fun, it's important to remember that Halloween can also be a time when crime rates spike. Laredo Police Department wants everyone to have a safe and fun Halloween, so they're urging residents to take precautions and avoid becoming a victim like Michael Myers' unfortunate victims!
Stay Safe This Halloween: Laredo Police Tips
Laredo Police are reminding everyone that Halloween isn't just about candy and costumes, it's also about staying safe. Here are some tips to keep in mind:
- Walk in groups: Don't let your kids roam the streets alone. Stick together, especially in darker areas. It's not just about staying safe from Michael Myers, but from real-life dangers too!
- Stick to well-lit areas: This one's important. Avoid dark alleys or poorly lit streets. Halloween is about fun, not a spooky surprise!
- Be aware of your surroundings: Look around. Pay attention to who's nearby. It's always better to be safe than sorry!
- Don't take candy from strangers: This one's a classic for a reason. Only take candy from people you know or trust.
- Inspect candy before eating it: It's not a bad idea to check candy for any signs of tampering. Better safe than sorry!
- Be cautious of trick-or-treaters' costumes: Not all costumes are created equal. Some might be too long or too big, making it difficult to see.
- Drive carefully: Remember that kids will be out and about. Keep an eye out for little trick-or-treaters, especially in residential areas. No one wants to be the "boo" of a bad driving experience.

Laredo Police are committed to keeping our community safe, but we all need to work together. It's important to stay aware and alert, even during fun times like Halloween. By taking precautions, we can all enjoy a safe and spooky Halloween!
