Someone launched fireworks at Bartley Road on Chinese New Year's eve
Someone launched fireworks along Bartley Road on the night of Feb 16, on the eve of Chinese New Year.
Stomper Kyo shared a 17-second video of the fireworks launched from the side of the road as vehicles drive past. Two people can be seen near the launch site with one man walking away.
After the fireworks, another video shows the remaining man approaching an area in the grass and squatting down to sift through the area before walking away.
The videos appear to be taken from an HDB block nearby.
"One of the neighbors managed to record the videos and shared them on Telegram," said Kyo.
"Please help share to create awareness that fireworks are dangerous if you're not a professional."
Last year, Dilip Kumar Nirmal Kumar, 39, was charged under the Guns, Explosive and Weapons Control Act for setting off fireworks illegally near Newton on Oct 18.
Anyone found guilty of unauthorised usage of a prohibited explosive can be jailed for up to five years and fined up to $100,000.
A 20-year-old man was then arrested for allegedly setting off fireworks illegally at a multi-storey HDB carpark in Tiong Bahru on Oct 26.
Under the Dangerous Fireworks Act, anyone found guilty of discharging dangerous fireworks can be jailed for up to two years, fined between $2,000 and $10,000, or both.
The use of fireworks in Singapore was first regulated in 1968, when rocket-type fireworks were banned after they were found responsible for a third of the 150 fires that broke out during Chinese New Year that year.
In 1972, this became a total ban with the Dangerous Fireworks Act.
