A dad is calling for an end to Mischief night after his home is "targeted" by gangs doing "God knows what."
Mischief Night is an informal holiday before Halloween in which youths, and adults, can engage in jokey behaviour. But one Widnes dad said nowadays, people are using it as an "excuse for the purge".
Every year, the dad - who wishes to not be named - said Mischief night causes him misery as he feels like he is being "targeted". From stones, eggs and footballs being thrown at his windows and doors, he urges parents to keep their children in this Mischief night, Sunday, October 30.
