Gardaí also recovered a small quantity of suspected cocaine during the search of a residence in Sligo town
Gardaí have seized approximately €20,000 worth of illegal fireworks following a search of a premises in Sligo as part of a major clampdown on unlicensed pyrotechnics ahead of Halloween.
The raid was conducted as part of Operation Tombola, which was launched on October 1 with a view to raising awareness of the dangers posed by illegal fireworks, as well as highlighting the legislation that outlaws their possession. “Fireworks can cause great distress to farm animals and family pets, and there is always the possibility of outbreaks of fires in properties if fireworks continue to burn after landing,” said a Garda spokesperson.
Anyone with information relating to the illegal use or sale of fireworks is asked to contact their local Garda station or the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111.
