Warren police crackdown on illegal fireworks
Warren police have made a pledge to get tough on illegal fireworks this 4th of July holiday. Police will be strictly enforcing the city's fireworks ordinance, which prohibits the sale or usage of illegal fireworks.
"The primary concern for this enforcement is to protect citizens from unnecessary injury," said Warren Deputy Police Commissioner Jere Green. "Police will be targeting places of sale and officers may issue violations to residents in possession of illegal fireworks."
It is unlawful to sell or furnish fireworks to a person under the age of 18. Under Warren city ordinance, it is illegal to set off fireworks between 9 p.m. and 10 a.m.
A violation of the city's fireworks ordinance is a 90 day misdemeanor punishable by a fine up to $500.
Any questions regarding Warren's fireworks ordinance, call the Warren Police Department at 586-574-4700.
