Police in Derry are advising anyone planning a fireworks display this Halloween that they need a licence from the Department of Justice.
A police spokesperson said licences should be applied for now and are needed for all outdoor displays.
The spokesperson added: “Please remember that not all fireworks are legal and police have the powers to seize items such as bangers - or any firework that has been bought without a licence or from an unlicensed retailer,”
