Police confiscated a total of 112 fireworks found in the possession of a 30-year-old man in the Famagusta district.

Officers located the stash following a tip on Wednesday afternoon, in the context of a campaign to curb illegal use and sale of the items.

The 30-year-old was questioned, charged in writing and released, while investigations continue.

The police sought to remind the public that possession and use of fireworks is dangerous and illegal, and called on the public to avoid purchasing and using them during the upcoming Easter holiday period.
