NEWARK ­— There will be fewer rockets emitting red glare and bombs bursting in air on July 4 after Newark police confiscated 378 pounds of illegal fireworks from one home Monday.

Police made the bust in the 5200 block of Sussex Place after officers responded to a Craigslist ad. Shekhar Ali, 21, was booked into Santa Rita Jail on suspicion of selling dangerous fireworks without a permit and possession of more than 100 pounds of fireworks.

Detective Sgt. David Higbee said that after officers purchased fireworks from the suspect, they obtained a search warrant. Inside the home, they found miscellaneous boxes of fireworks they believed originally weighed a little over 100 pounds.

The Alameda County bomb squad was called to remove the fireworks from the home.

Ali has posted bail.
