Explosions prompt complaints

Explosions from fireworks in the Woy Woy area after dark on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights have prompted complaints from local residents.

One resident, Mr Russ Kilpatrick, said: "It unnerved me and I am angry about it."

He said that police had told him that young people were going to Canberra to buy fireworks which were illegal in NSW.

He encouraged residents to call the police on 131 444 to report any loud bangs or if they saw anything suspicious.
