Police are investigating a "massive illegal fireworks show" that lit up the night sky over downtown Los Angeles late Sunday.
Reports of the nonstop fireworks first started coming in at around 10:45 p.m., with dozens of social media users posting videos questioning the incident.
The display woke up hundreds of people living around the area, many of whom said that their doors and windows were shaking as the powerful explosives continued.
DTLA Little Tokyo, 20 minutes ago, I don’t think these fireworks were planned. Also saw a drone. Then a helicopter flying over with a spotlight minutes later. pic.twitter.com/4x9tmILZjW — Daryl Nash (@chaos_sleeps) January 22, 2024
"Central Division is investigating the massive illegal fireworks show that occurred late last evening," LAPD investigators said in a statement posted on X. "We ask our stakeholders in the area to please contact us with surveillance video."
Some people said that the show continued between three and five minutes.
So far, police say that no one has come forward to claim responsibility, and they're hopeful that surveillance camera footage from the surrounding area will point them in the necessary direction.
"This was coordinated and planned," police said.
There have been no reports of injuries stemming from the incident.
Now that's a creepy comment!
Most of LA is an unlivable third world rathole. Soon almost all of LA will be unlivable.
Just think of it as a test for some offensive weaponry.
What else did those cadres bring in over our unprotected borders?
Butt, butt, butt.......
Too early for Chinese New Year (Feb 10 this year)...is there a college in the area?
Why investigate? “Nothing will be done.” says Captain Obvious.
A free, spontaneous fireworks show.
Pretty cool if you ask me; but I’m not a Stakeholder.
I’m sure some local Karen’s were offended when they were interrupted watching their Hallmark movie.
The city and county of Los Angeles has been sending out the message that anything goes and there are no consequences for unlawful actions. This kind of thing should surprise no one. The only surprise is that there’s so little of it going on.
non stop, lasted 3-5 minutes
“is there a college in the area?”
Yes, Ghetto U.
Fireworks are the priority?
Good thing there’s no violent crime, drugs, or illegal gangs operating in LA.
Oh No it wasn’t
Those Mortars were abandoned there after the Civil War.
The star shells fell in to the mortars when a passing bred truck hit a pot hole.
A passing firefly lit the fuses.
The LAPD couldn't investigate the missing sprinkles on a donut.
If they did it would be RACIST.
The fireworks display was just pulsing the system,
The Illegals show their muscle, more to come.
Five minutes of non-stop professional-grade fireworks isn’t cheap.
So sorry, no refunds.
Yup. This is a very similar pattern to the flash mob beta testing from few years ago. That has now has been exploited into a no-notice rent-a-mob for the left.
We're talking South Central LA. Snitches get stitches.
