There are costumes for kids young and old, and for adults, but some parts of Virginia are now putting age restrictions on trick-or-treating.

According to WAVY, the NBC affiliate in Hampton Roads, many towns and cities in the Norfolk, Va., area have restrictions on trick-or-treating.

In towns like Chesapeake, Yorktown, Suffolk, Hampton Roads, Norfolk and Virginia Beach, you have to be 12 or younger to go door-to-door asking for candy. Parents and other adults are allowed to chaperone younger kids but are not allowed to collect candy for themselves.

There is also a cut-off time for trick-or-treating.  Police have been ordered to give out citations to anyone knocking on doors after 8 p.m.
