MALOLOS CITY , Philippines  â€“ Ten people, including two minors, were arrested in separate police operations against the illegal manufacturing of firecrackers in Bulacan last Friday.

Among those nabbed were workers of three clandestine firecracker factories in Barangay Bunducan, Bocaue town. The owners of the illegal factories eluded arrest.

The raids yielded at least P1.5 million worth of chemicals used in making pyrotechnic products as well boxes of oversized firecrackers.

Two others were arrested while making firecrackers like pla-pla in Barangay Bulac, Sta. Maria town.

Police also swooped down on a store along the Maharlika Highway in San Miguel town and seized illegal firecrackers like super lolo, piccolo, pla-pla, lolo thunder and Og.

Another store selling prohibited firecrackers was raided in Baliwag town.
