Miami-Dade authorities seize illegal fireworks

MIAMI (AP) - More than 450 pounds of fireworks that were being
sold illegally have been seized by authorities following an all-day
sting in Miami-Dade County.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue spokesman Lt. Arnold Piedrahita Jr. said
inspectors found two people selling about $12,000 worth of
fireworks from an SUV on Friday afternoon. Hours later, two more
people were found selling fireworks from vehicles on another South
Florida roadway.
In total, authorities say they collected about $25,000 in
professional-grade fireworks.
Piedrahita Jr. says the fireworks are going to be turned over to
the Miami-Dade Police Department Bomb Squad.
