With the Fourth of July now less than a week away, authorities in the East Bay are getting ready to, or already started, cracking down on illegal fireworks
The sheriff's office seizing nearly 300 pounds of fireworks earlier this week, while conducting compliance checks, which resulted in 14 searches.
And while they say they plan to have teams of investigators on top of patrol staff out in neighborhoods looking for illegal fireworks and responding to tip-line reports, they want folks to understand that they still have other priorities. "We're experiencing a lot of crime in Alameda County and not just in our county, we're just seeing an uptick in violent crimes in the state of California so those calls will be prioritized based on the seriousness of other calls," said Lt. Tya Modeste, a spokesperson for the Alameda County Sheriff's Office.
