By Special to the Sun | June 27, 2007
Police made one of the city's largest fireworks seizures ever in Brooklyn on Monday, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly, announced yesterday.
Investigators confiscated about $20,000 in fireworks and arrested five individuals at a basement warehouse in the Sheepshead Bay section of Brooklyn at about 6:30 p.m. on Monday, Mr. Kelly said.
Included in the roughly 9,000 pounds of fireworks was a small pink backpack filled with fireworks that was called "What a Girl Wants," Mr. Kelly said. He said it was marketed specifically to young girls.
