The discovery was so large that at the beginning of the evening the street was cordoned off and, as a precaution, the surrounding homes were evacuated. It turned out to be over 1,100 kilos of (illegal) fireworks located in the middle of the house. This posed a danger to the entire neighborhood, as even a small static spark could cause a disastrous explosion.
The EODD therefore came to the scene to investigate the fireworks and safely remove them from the house. Around 11:00 PM, the residents were all allowed to return to their homes. The 47-year-old resident was arrested after the discovery and is currently in custody.
