Easton Police Chief: 'Halloween is Still On'

Police Chief Allen Krajcik urged parents and trick-or-treaters to beware of extra debris on the sidewalks.

Easton Police Chief Allen Krajcik said Tuesday afternoon that Halloween trick-or-treating is a go for Wednesday evening.

"Things should be pretty well cleaned up by then, however parents and children should be aware of some debris (leaves/branches) on the sidewalks and should use extra caution," Krajcik said.

His announcement came in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, which left thousands of residents without power, closed roads and left debris throughout the town.
