No Arrests Made In Significant Halloween Operation
No arrests were made by Police in Derry City and Strabane over what they've labelled as a 'significant operation' during the Halloween festivities.
Substantial planning was required from the Derry City & Strabane District Council ahead of the area welcoming thousands of visitors over the course of four days for their Halloween festival.
Despite the high influx of people, the celebrations were delivered successfully and safely.
Chief Inspector Yvonne McManus said: "We saw tens of thousands of visitors over the course of the four-day festival and our officers were out and about providing reassurance to residents, local businesses and visitors.
"This was a significant policing operation, which involved working closely with Derry City & Strabane District Council, and other partners, and it was great to see so many families, young people and visitors enjoying themselves safely."
