As Easter approaches, police have intensified their efforts to address juvenile delinquency and uncontrolled firework displays , bomb squad officer Paris Kyriakou said on Saturday.
According to Kyriakou, a total of 11,000 seizures of fireworks and firecrackers have been recorded in 2026, with the vast majority being the latter.
This marks a similar trend to 2025, when almost half of the 20,500 fireworks – 9,000 in total – were firecrackers.
