The police are currently conducting further investigations into the fireworks. The entire batch has been seized and will be destroyed. No arrests have been made so far as a result of this discovery. However, earlier this month, three individuals were arrested in an FIOD investigation that also involved this property.

The police therefore urge local residents to report suspicions of illegal fireworks possession. Do you have information? Or do you see something suspicious?
