Trick-or-Treating In Toms River Today Brings Reminders

TOMS RIVER, NJ — In case you've missed the reminders, trick-or-treating will take place today, Sunday, Oct. 30, in Toms River, because of the Halloween parade Monday night.

Toms River police and township officials issued a few reminders Sunday morning:

• Motorists driving around town should be aware and drive with extra caution, because excited children can dart into the street.
• Parents are advised to accompany children or have kids trick-or-treat in groups.
• Always carry a flashlight for safety, stay on sidewalks or as close to the curb as possible.
• Only go to houses where the porch lights are on.
• There is no official curfew in Toms River, but Police Chief Mitchell Little said all trick-or-treaters will be asked to be off town streets by 9 p.m. Sunday.

As always please contact the Toms River Police Department if you see or hear any suspicious activity.
Have a safe and Happy Halloween!
