$250,000 worth of illegal fireworks seized in Brooklyn
Officials seized hundreds of illegal fireworks from a Brooklyn business earlier this week. The bust happened Tuesday at Everbright Trading Company on Flushing Avenue near Varick Avenue. New York City Fire Department officials say the investigation began after the Riverhead Long Island Fire Marshal's Office sent them a tip about Everbright. When fire marshals visited the business in plainclothes, they found shelves stocked with illegal fireworks, including aerial "cake-style" rockets, handheld Roman candle-style fireworks and large sparkling devices, officials say. A man was arrested after fire officials seized about $250,000 worth of illegal fireworks from a Brooklyn business on June 24, 2025. FDNY Undercover agents later attempted to purchase the fireworks and executed a search warrant, which led to the seizure of over 1,000 illegal fireworks believed to be worth a total of about $250,000. The on-site manager for the business, 42-year-old Lisen Pan, was arrested and charged with criminal possession of a weapon, reckless endangerment and unlawfully dealing with fireworks and dangerous fireworks. "The massive amount of powerful fireworks allegedly possessed by this defendant made his conduct not only unlawful, but also a danger to public safety that necessitated decisive action," Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said in a statement, in part. A man was arrested after fire officials seized about $250,000 worth of illegal fireworks from a Brooklyn business on June 24, 2025. FDNY Summonses were also issued for illegal storage of fireworks without a permit, obstruction of sprinkler heads and the obstruction of means of egress. The bust was a joint effort by the FDNY's Bureau of Fire Investigation, the Bureau of Fire Prevention and the Brooklyn district attorney's office. Officials are encouraging all New Yorkers to celebrate the upcoming Fourth of July holiday responsibly.

Denver Zoo to close early due to social media-inspired teenage 'takeover'
The Denver Zoo will close early on Saturday due to a planned social-media inspired 'takeover' of the zoo's surrounding park by a large group of teenagers. A spokesperson for the zoo told NBC affiliate KUSA that it will open at 7:30 a.m. and close at 1 p.m. due to the gathering, which is being referred to as the 'City Park Takeover' online. A similar event took place in the city last weekend, with hundreds of teenagers descending at the Northfield Mall, causing some fights to break out that involved the response of law enforcement, KUSA reported. It is unclear if there is a specific group organizing the events. 'We don't know the exact nature of the event but we know previous events organized in a similar fashion have led to some disruption to local businesses, damage, vandalism, things like that,' zoo spokesperson Jake Kubie told KUSA. Kubie said the early closure was a precaution against any disturbances. 'We don't believe we're a target of anything. We haven't received any information that suggests that there is gonna be any impact to us,' he said. 'We're always leaning towards caution over everything else.' No arrests were made and no property was damaged at the event last weekend, KUSA reported. The Denver Police Department said in a statement that it is aware of the 'takeover' events in the city and 'will plan accordingly to try to minimize the impact of these events.' Kubie told KUSA that the zoo is 'prepared.' 'Being a zoo — an 80-acre campus with 2,500 wild animals and almost 2 million guests coming in every year — it's our responsibility to be prepared for anything that can happen,' he said. 'Fortunately we haven't had any incidents along these lines, but we're ready for whatever may happen.' This article was originally published on
