Police on Wednesday said they had seized a tonne of fireworks in a container storage site in Lok Ma Chau, near the border, in the run-up to the Chinese New Year holidays.
A 62-year-old man, who manages the site, was arrested on suspicion of illegal possession of fireworks.
Detective Chief Inspector Lam Sze-yi said it was the force's largest fireworks seizure in recent years and she believed the HK$2 million haul came from the mainland.
Lam said the fireworks would probably have been sold to villages in the New Territories, with many residents enjoying setting them off to mark the New Year.
