State Police Seize Fireworks Entering Mass Illegally

In the run up to the Independence Day weekend, the Office of the State Fire Marshal and the Massachusetts State Police are conducting ongoing interdiction efforts targeting purchasers of fireworks in other states who then bring them into Massachusetts, where, of course, possession is illegal. On the evening of Friday, June 24, Troopers from the Department’s Division of Investigative Services and Firearms and Explosives Investigation Unit stopped several motor vehicles containing occupants who had purchased fireworks in another state and carried them into Massachusetts. Seven people were issued summons to appear in court to face charges of illegal possession of fireworks (MGL Chapter 148, Section 39). Troopers seized approximately 425 items, many containing large volumes of multiple shots, with a total value of approximately $8,000.
