Police made the following statement after the arrests.
“While we acknowledge that we have successfully investigated more serious and noteworthy crimes lately, we didn’t want you to think we ignore the more prevalent quality of life crimes. We have listened to your concerns and complaints about illegal fireworks. We have officers specifically assigned in attempts to locate those responsible. A good rule of thumb is that if it explodes or is aerial, they are illegal in RI.”
