Police were kept busy in Penticton Halloween night with the majority of calls responding to fireworks complaints.
There were 44 police calls in Penticton on Oct. 31, said RCMP Sgt. Jason Bayda.
The main calls were fireworks related with the majority of other files related to young people drinking. Some people in Penticton did choose to ignore Dr. Bonnie Henry’s pleas about house parties, said Bayda. Police attended some parties and also dealt with a few domestic disturbances.
