LOS ANGELES — A man was arrested after authorities found 2,500 pounds of illegal fireworks at his home, officials said Friday.
George Stoner Carrera, 47, was arrested Thursday at his home in Los Angeles for investigation of possessing unlawful explosives, said Scott Burnside, an arson investigator with the Alhambra Fire Department.
The fireworks _ enough to fill two flatbed trucks and worth at least $25,000 _ were transported from Nevada and stored throughout the house.
They included nearly 2,000 black, powder-filled M-80 explosives, which are considered illegal explosive devices in California, Burnside said.
Investigators acting on a tip bought fireworks from Carrera, then obtained a search warrant for his home.
"This is a matter of public safety," Burnside said. "I've worked every Fourth of July and every year I see fires."
A person who answered the phone at Carrera's home declined to comment.
