A SUSPECT in custody head-butted a police officer in Middlewich on Halloween
Emergency services revealed there were incidents of disorder and criminal damage which led to robust action taken by police officers to arrest offenders and issue dispersal notices.
However they have thanked the majority of the community for enjoying the holiday which overall ‘went well’.
Supt Richard Rees said: “We recognise this can be a busy time of year and we can see an increase in reports of anti-social behaviour and disorder.
“However, I’m pleased to say the majority of the county did celebrate and enjoy Halloween and Bonfire Night safely and calmly.
“Although there was an increase in demand for our services, our close work with Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service ensured that the celebrations ran as safely and smoothly as possible and, where necessary, we increased the number of officers on patrol to allow us to respond to incidents more effectively.”
Anyone with information relating to assault or damage to vehicles are asked to call 101 or alternatively Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
