Local Police Chief issues warning about fireworks
Making a direct appeal, the Chief Inspector said: “In previous years we have witnessed the devastating injuries that can be caused when young people use fireworks unsupervised.
“In the weeks prior to and after Halloween, we will be dedicating resources in an effort to reduce the potential for harm to both individuals and communities from fireworks. Officers will be tackling the supply of illegal fireworks and working in communities to tackle anti-social behaviour. I would ask parents to make sure they know the whereabouts of their children.”
