This year thousands of people will enjoy fireworks safely; however, a small minority of people use fireworks to cause crime and nuisance in their local communities. Any action where fireworks are used to harass, intimidate, or cause damage to others is a criminal act and anti-social. West Yorkshire Police will not tolerate this behaviour and the consequences are serious. You can be fined an unlimited amount or potentially risk jail for up to six months for selling or using fireworks illegally.
