The Denver Police said on Facebook that they pulled over a large box truck on Tuesday and found a huge collection of fireworks for sale.
The department contacted the Bomb Squad and Explosive Detection Canine Team to let them know they were investigating illegal firework for sale out of a box truck and a home in southwest Denver. They proceeded to stop the suspect and he gave the officers permission to search the vehicle. Canines from the Explosive Detection Team positively indicated the fireworks. At that point 31-year-old Louis Maestas was ticketed and the box truck impounded.
