ELLICOTT-Halloween has traditionally been a time for plenty of treats but also a time for tricks, pranks and vandalism. Not so this year, according to local police officials.
Ellicott Chief of Police William Ohnmeiss reported there were no reports of vandalism, Halloween-related or otherwise.
“For the last 10 years plus things have gotten so much better. Kids aren’t as destructive,” he told WNYNewsNow. He said police coverage was stepped-up in the past.
“We would have four to five cars plus a sergeants’ car on Halloween in the area and the next day… It would look like a war zone. It was pretty destructive,” he said.
Jamestown police and New York State Police also reported no vandalism this Halloween season.
