The illegal sale of flares and firecrackers via social media is developing into a “scourge” as we approach Easter.
Astute people whose only goal is profit are springing up like mushrooms and through fake profiles they create on social media, they sell at tempting prices – as they claim – bengals of dubious origin.
In order to convince the “customers”, they do not hesitate to demonstrate their dangerous products.
According to police sources, a major investigation by EL.AS has already begun. with the participation of the prosecution of electronic crime in order to identify the astute ones who besides illegally sell dangerous kegs mainly to minors.
A few days ago, a 27-year-old man fell into the hands of ELAS, who, maintaining a profile on a social networking platform, was selling sparklers and firecrackers.
The police, pretending to be customers interested in buying a large quantity of firecrackers, made an appointment with him at the ISAP station in Heraklion and as soon as the 27-year-old took out the firecrackers, they arrested him.
