The war between the police and the firecracker smugglers continues as the Easter day approaches. Yesterday 18000 illegal factory-manufactured firecrackers were discovered in a house in Larnaca area belonging to a 52 year old who said in court today that he had no idea about them but his son-in-law admitted that he bought them from a third-party from the village of Omodos to use them train his dog. Today, Paphos police reported that 4500 firecrackers have been found in the area since 10th of March when they started their campaign. The Paphos police spokesperson Nicos Tsappis said that they found several different types of firecrackers many of which originated from the occupied areas.

We’re not dog training experts but we’re pretty sure that if you are using 18000 firecrackers to train one dog you must be definitely doing it wrong. Can anyone enlighten us on this?
