The police warn before Halloween: Then the mischief can become criminal

Throwing eggs, brandishing a fake weapon or scaring someone can be a crime. Now that Halloween is just around the corner, the police are therefore going out and warning that the mischief can get out of hand.

- If we judge that it is an individual who is moving with a sharp-loaded weapon in an area, then we have to act based on the fact that this is what we have to work with, says Adam Isaksson Samara, press spokesperson at the police region west.

The guardians bear the responsibility

According to the police, it is guardians who have the ultimate responsibility to inform children and young people about where the line is - and they can also be punished for crimes committed by minors.

- If one's child has committed something that can be classified as damage, then one can, for example, be liable for damages, says Isaksson Samara.
