Man arrested for hurling illegal New Year’s fireworks from moving car in Elzach

A man was arrested after throwing illegal New Year's fireworks from a moving car in Elzach on Monday evening. The incident occurred around 10 p.m. on Friedhofstraße, with no injuries or property damage reported. The suspect, driving a small black SUV, fled the scene in the direction of Am Tannwald. The Waldkirch police station has taken over the investigation and is appealing for witnesses. The firework used was an unapproved product, potentially violating Germany’s Explosives Act. No one has been publicly identified as the perpetrator yet. The police urge anyone with information about the incident or the suspect's vehicle to come forward. The use of illegal fireworks remains a serious offence, and the investigation is ongoing.
