Major haul of illegal fireworks in Killarney
K
KILLARNEY GARDAI have seized hundreds of euro worth of illegal fireworks following a targeted operation over Halloween.
Fireworks with an estimated value of between €400 and €500 were recovered in a targeted operation on Friday and Saturday. Four search warrants were issued and four premises were searched. “A large quantity of fireworks were seized and a file is being prepared for the DPP,” Garda Michael Milner of Killarney Gardai told Killarney Advertiser.
The haul is the largest such seizure in Killarney in a number of years and the detections were carried out under a nationwide Garda operation – Operation Tombola – which has been targeting the sale and supply of fireworks. “We were very happy that hopefully this seizure of fireworks will have prevented someone from being hurt,” added Garda Milner.
