Police seized 2,200 pounds of illegal fireworks Wednesday in the Waipahu area, according to a Honolulu Police Department news release.

Officers received a tip, which led them to the stash of illegal fireworks, police said.

Also, police arrested a 44-year-old Kapalama vendor on Wednesday for allegedly selling firecrackers to a plainclothes officer.

The vendor allegedly sold the fireworks to the officer, who did not present a valid permit.

Police continue to urge residents to report suspicious or illegal fireworks activity to police.

Anyone found selling, possessing or using illegal fireworks could face up to five years in jail and/or a fine of up to $10,000.
