The 3 biggest crimes committed on Halloween are…
❌ Vandalism (also referred to as “Criminal Damage”): Arizona sees a significant rise in vandalism incidents on Halloween night. This often includes graffiti, egging houses, and damaging property, especially in larger cities like Phoenix and Tucson.
❌ Theft: Theft from homes and vehicles is common, with parked cars being frequent targets for break-ins. People leaving their houses for Halloween events or trick-or-treating increases these crimes of opportunity.
❌ DUI Incidents: Halloween parties lead to a noticeable increase in DUI arrests and accidents. Arizona police departments often set up additional DUI checkpoints on Halloween night to keep roads safer.
Arizona law enforcement typically increases patrols and sets up checkpoints, especially in urban areas, to prevent these incidents and ensure a safe Halloween.
