The Kent Messenger has printed a poster to help its readers deter unwanted trick or treaters this Halloween.

The half-page poster, printed on page 19, said 'no trick or treat, thank you' in 140 point red caps and carried the logos of the KM and Kent Police.

Readers were invited to cut it out and put it in a front window.

Editor Ron Green said: "Each year we run stories about trick-or-treaters causing all kinds of problems so we thought we would help people do something about it.

"We got a sympathetic response from the police, who issued helpful advice for a trouble-free Halloween, and local churches supported the idea."
