Some residents in the tri-communities dealt with more tricks than treats this past weekend.

La Ronge RCMP say they had a few occurrences of Halloween decorations being vandalized, mostly on Studer Street in La Ronge.

To try and combat this, police will increase patrols this week.

RCMP is advising homeowners to keep their decorations close to the house and in a well lit area.

The RCMP said its members will be patrolling the communities on Halloween to ensure private property isn’t being damaged and to keep trick-or-treaters safe.
