A U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration operation led to an investigation into a large quantity of illegal fireworks Thursday night in a La Puente neighborhood.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The investigation began at about 11:30 p.m. in the 700 block of Del Valle Avenue. A DEA sergeant confirmed that agents were serving a search warrant for drugs and firearms when they discovered a significant amount of fireworks inside the home.<\/p>\n
It was not clear what amount of drugs or fireworks were found at the scene. It was also not clear if any arrests were made.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The DEA has cleared the drugs and weapons found at the location and is now focusing on removing the fireworks.<\/p>\n
The Los Angeles County Sheriff\u2019s Department\u2019s Industry Station is now working with the DEA to figure out a safe method of removing the fireworks.<\/p>\n
In California, only so-called “Safe and Sane” consumer-grade fireworks are legal, but county and local municipalities have different rules. It is illegal to store, manufacture, sell, use, or handle all forms of fireworks without a valid permit in unincorporated areas of\u00a0Los Angeles County<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration operation led to an investigation into a large quantity of illegal fireworks Thursday…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":358021,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[48,52,51,19180,47,50,49],"class_list":["post-358020","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-la","tag-la-headlines","tag-la-news","tag-la-puente","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-headlines","tag-los-angeles-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/358020","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=358020"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/358020\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/358021"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=358020"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=358020"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=358020"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
