Police forces are expected to spend millions of extra pounds on Halloween this year following a sharp increase in antisocial behaviour by "trick or treat" gangs.

Thousands of extra officers will be on duty on Tuesday, with some forces warning that officers in unmarked spotter cars will be on hand to arrest or hand out £80 penalty notices to rowdy teenagers.

Problems associated with Halloween rarely existed until a few years ago. However, with the arrival of American "trick or treating", trouble appears to have increased in line with the growth of the event itself. Five years ago, Britons spent £12m on Halloween; the figure is now £120m.

Nothing like the ole fashioned "blame game."

I think it's funny that they (in part) want to blame this one on "the arrival of American 'trick or treating'".

To funny!
