People who are going out tonight for Halloween are being warned by police not to take their pranks too far. Police will be patrolling the streets to tackle anti-social behaviour including troublemakers who may be throwing eggs or flour.
With Halloween and bonfire night just around the corner, steps are being taken in Gloucester to tackle anti-social behaviour.
A new patrol van will tour the city until midnight, responding quickly to any reports of trouble.
Here's our Gloucestershire Correspondent Ken Goodwin.
A new way of combating anti social behaviour is being launched in Gloucestershire in time for Halloween night.
It's a partnership between the police, a council and housing associations. It's thought to be the first initiative of it's kind in the country.
Inspector Steve Wood says that the Project Solace van will have representatives from different agencies, like environmental health and housing, as well as the police, so they are ready to tackle anything they come across.
They'll also use social media to respond to calls for assistance from residents.
