NZ Police go viral with Halloween video

The Wellington District Police have come in hot this Halloween with a dance video promoting the safety of our "little zombies".

The video begins with a police vehicle pulling into a carpark before a mob of zombies descend upon the camera, timed appropriately to the background music of classic Kiwi anthem Poi E.

The zombified officers then perform a few moves from Michael Jackson's Thriller, before going zombie freestyle with some poi and haka-inspired dance moves.

The video is accompanied by some helpful tips for parents to "keep your little zombies safe this Halloween", including going out with an adult, staying in places that are not too dark, and respecting "no trick or treaters" signs.
