North Yorkshire Police have received several reports over the past week relating to youths throwing and setting off fireworks within Barlby village. Recent information suggests that some fireworks may have been launched from, or in the vicinity of, Turnhead Crescent. This behaviour presents a significant safety concern and can cause distress to local residents, particularly those who may be vulnerable, as well as pet owners. There is also a risk to motorists and pedestrians, together with the potential for serious injury, damage to property and fire. 🎆 Firework Safety and the Law Everyone should be able to enjoy fireworks safely, whether at an organised display or at home. However, when used irresponsibly, fireworks can pose serious risks to people, animals and property. Please be aware that: • It is an offence to throw or set off any firework (including sparklers and Category 1 fireworks) in or into any highway, street, thoroughfare or public place. • Only adults aged 18 and over may buy, possess or use Category 2 and Category 3 fireworks. • Those aged 16 and over may only buy, possess or use Category 1 fireworks. 👪 Parents and Guardians We would ask parents and guardians to speak with their children about the dangers and consequences of misusing fireworks, and to be aware of their whereabouts and conduct whilst out in the community. 🚔 North Yorkshire Police take reports of anti-social behaviour seriously. Any information received will be assessed and appropriate follow-up enquiries conducted. If you have information regarding those responsible, please report it via: 📞 101 In an emergency, or where there is an immediate risk to life or property, always call 999. | ||
