A Melbourne man has been charged after allegedly trafficking 100kg of illegal fireworks to be sold on social media.
Victoria Police spent five months investigating large-scale fireworks trafficking, searching five properties on Monday.
About 100kg of commercial fireworks, weapons, drugs, cash and a motorbike were seized from two Craigieburn homes and three Campbellfield businesses.
Police will allege the fireworks were advertised for sale on social media platforms.
Commercial fireworks are classed as a type of explosive and banned for public use because they can be extremely dangerous in untrained hands.
A 37-year-old Craigieburn man has been charged with possessing explosives and other offences. He was released on bail to face court at a later date.
