Bylaw officers in Surrey have seized 100-thousand dollars' worth of fireworks from a single unlicensed retail location, just ahead of Halloween.
A statement from the City of Surrey says R-C-M-P officers found the illegal fireworks store through online and social media searches and issued municipal tickets to the owner and two employees.
Surrey Mayor Brenda Locke says it took four pickup trucks and a minivan to transport the illegal inventory.
Fireworks cannot be sold in Surrey without a valid permit from the fire department, as well as a federal fireworks operator certificate.
