Fireworks seized by gardaí in Limerick
Gardaí have seized €2,500 worth of illegal fireworks, pepper spray and cocaine in Limerick today.
The search was undertaken as part of Operation Tombola, which focuses on the prevention and detection of the sale of fireworks during the Halloween period.
Following the operation, two men were arrested and were later released without charge.
A spokesperson for the gardaí said: “As part of Operation Tombola, Gardaí in Limerick seized €2,500 of illegal fireworks yesterday in addition to pepper spray & €700 of cocaine.”
“Two men were arrested and later released without charge, pending a file to the Director of Public Prosecutions.”
“Operation Tombola started earlier this month & targets the supply of illegal fireworks.”
“Fireworks can cause distress to people and pets & there is the possibility of fires in properties if they continue to burn after landing.”
“Please be safe this Halloween,” the spokesperson added.
Last week, about €20,000 worth of illegal fireworks were seized by gardaí during a house search in Sligo town.
