📣 **Fireworks Frenzy Leaves Cardiff Neighbours Shaken**
Imagine this: families enjoying Halloween night, kids in their cutest costumes, when suddenly the sky lights up with fireworks… from flat windows! 🎆 That’s what happened in Cardiff’s Beechley Drive, turning a night of fun into a traumatic experience for many locals, especially young children.
One mum shared the heartbreaking ordeal of her three-year-old daughter, who was left “absolutely traumatised” when massive fireworks went off right next to them as they trick-or-treated. “Sparks were millimetres from her eyes,” she recalled. Now, her daughter panics at the sound of any fireworks, covering her ears and screaming. 💔
Neighbours are speaking out, saying the chaos has left them paranoid and affected their mental health. 🎃 Not only were the community members impacted, but when the police arrived on the scene, they became targets too. Shocking, right?
South Wales Police received a surge in calls over the Halloween and Bonfire Night period, and they’re working hard to find those behind these reckless acts. Thankfully, no officers were injured, but this kind of behaviour is completely unacceptable. 🛡️
Chief Superintendent Marc Attwell stated they have robust plans to keep the community safe during such events and emphasised that emergency services shouldn’t be subjected to such dangerous actions.
To everyone who celebrated safely without risking harm to themselves or others, a massive thank you. Your cooperation ensures officers can respond quickly to urgent situations, keeping Cardiff safer for everyone. 🙌
Stay safe out there, Cardiffians! 🚓✨
