The sale of fireworks has resumed since Saturday, with the Dutch police stepping up controls at the German border. In a bid to prevent any injuries on New Year’s Eve, they are seizing everything that poses a risk.

"From now on, we will confiscate everything that could potentially harm someone on New Year’s Eve," a spokesperson for the police said. The focus of the controls is on preventing any accidents, as the illegal use of fireworks remains a significant risk.

The police are also warning the public about the dangers of fireworks and urging everyone to follow the rules. They advise against buying fireworks from illegal sellers, as these products often lack proper safety instructions and can thus pose a greater risk.

In addition to the border controls, the police will also be patrolling the streets during the holiday season. They will be on the lookout for any illegal activities involving fireworks and will intervene immediately if necessary.

The police are calling on the public to report any suspicious activities or violations to the fireworks ban. By working together, they aim to ensure a safe and enjoyable New Year’s Eve for everyone.
