BOSTON (WHDH) - Boston police confiscated a large number of fireworks following numerous complaints from community members in South Boston on Friday, officials said.
Officers patrolling the area were called to Crowley Rodgers Way at 10:15 p.m. where they found multiple fireworks being set off in a parking lot, police said.
Officers responding to the scene saw smoke coming from freshly ignited fireworks and two people standing behind a gray Honda Accord with the trunk open, according to police.
After spotting a significant amount of fireworks in the trunk, police said they spoke to a man and woman who yelled racial slurs at officers confiscating the fireworks.
Officers issued the man and woman city ordinance violations for possession of fireworks, police said. The fireworks were then taken to the police station in South Boston.
