## Resource

Garden City, Michigan, just pulled off a fireworks heist for the ages—seizing over 17,000 pounds of professional-grade explosives, including dangerously re-labeled “overloaded” devices meant to fool buyers. Investigators nabbed the stash after a tip, and it took the Detroit Bomb Squad and local first responders to safely handle the volatile haul. These aren’t kids’ sparklers—they’re bombs that could kill or maim if mishandled. With penalties ranging from prison time to cleanup costs, this bust underscores the deadly risks of illegal fireworks and the high stakes in stopping them before they explode.
