    The Las Vegas Metro Police Illegal Fireworks Task Force have seized more than 8.5 tons of illegal fireworks—or 17,260 pounds to be exact—following the Fourth of July.

    The seizure of illegal fireworks has been underway since the middle of June as part of the joint-agency Illegal Fireworks Task Force with Las Vegas Fire & Rescue and the Clark County Fire Department.

    Police said as of Friday morning, 229 citations have been written.

    Now that the Fourth of July has come to an end, police said all fireworks—regardless of their "Safe & Sane" status—are now illegal to set off in Clark County.

    Police are asking the public to continue reporting illegal fireworks to www.ISpyFireworks.com .
