Large haul of fireworks stolen

9:04 am on 6 November 2009

Police in Waikato say a large haul of fireworks stolen from the Warehouse store in Morrinsville on Tuesday evening could fall into the wrong hands.

Three pallets of fireworks, sealed in shipping containers and worth $11,000, were taken.

Police say legally, only people aged 18 and older can purchase fireworks, but it is likely the thieves will not be too worried about who they sell them to.

They say there is potential for serious injury or damage and want to hear from anyone being offered bargain-priced fireworks.
