Seized fireworks.
Boston Police report officers seized a metric buttload of fireworks in the parking lot of the St. Peter Lithuanian Church on Flaherty Way last night after responding to "numerous calls and community complaints in the area of Gavin Way."
All parties on scene no doubt looked up at officers with big saucer puppy eyes as they proclaimed "they were unaware that fireworks were not only illegal in the City of Boston but across the entirety of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as well."
The officers did not run them over to C-6 for booking, but instead took them at their word and merely informed "everyone gathered on scene that, in addition to the mandatory seizure, they could also face monetary fines for their actions" and then, after collecting all the fireworks, presumably sent them on their way.
