The Bermuda Police Service is asking the public to report any large parties to be held at public venues over the Halloween weekend.

Anyone who is having a public event is asked to call Sgt. Ian DeAllie on 295-0011.

Police would like notification only for events open to the general public and not for private parties or gatherings.

Police also issued the following home safety tips for Halloween:

Think fire safety, do not overload electrical outlets

Purchase batteries for smoke alarms and test your alarms

Keep Jack O'Lanterns, candles and/or hot objects away from flammable materials

Keep your home well lit to deter vandals

Clear the yard of objects to avoid injuring children

Tools and ladders should be kept under lock and key.
