Continuing his campaign against illegal fireworks, City Attorney Mike Feuer announced Thursday the arrests of seven more people accused of illegally possessing and selling fireworks from the Chinatown and Santee Alley districts.

Feuer, at a City Hall East news conference with boxes of the illegal fireworks in front of him, said his office has overseen the arrest of 11 people since last week for selling illegal fireworks.

“We are leading the effort for enforcement of illegal fireworks sales,” Feuer said. “There have been at least two tons of fireworks confiscated.

“We are very serious about this. At least 30 percent of emergency room visits for fireworks-related injuries are children under the age of 15. This is a public safety issue.”

Feuer said this is the first year his office has coordinated with other law enforcement agencies to focus on illegal fireworks.

“As important as the arrests are, this sends a message we are taking this seriously,” Feuer said.

Those arrested could face penalties of one year in jail and a fine of up to $10,000.

The seven people were arrested in the most recent raids are Esther Chin, 61; Eileen Soo Hoo, 79; Pik Fan Lam, 54; Jose Guadalupe Avalos, 31; Moises Benitez-De La Cruz, 30; Juan Jose Alvarado, 31, and Javier Gonzales, 25.

Feuer said police and fire officials also will be out Friday night looking for people who are setting off fireworks in their backyards.
