High-profile Bay Area illegal fireworks busts expose multi-million dollar black market
SAN FRANCISCO - The bust was impressive.
Just over a week before the Fourth of July, authorities on the Peninsula uncovered a Bay-Area-wide illegal fireworks smuggling operation leading all the way back to China.
It was just one of several recent seizures by law enforcement around the region that have netted tens of thousands of pounds of fireworks and more than $1 million in cash. The efforts couldn’t have come soon enough as California’s parched landscape is primed for the next devastating wildfire.
But even with these impressive hauls of illegal fireworks, many authorities believe they’ve just scratched the surface of a multi-million dollar black market.
