Last year 94 Londoners were injured by fireworks

Police and Enfield councillors are carrying out special patrols in the area to check if shops are selling fireworks to underage children.

Last year 94 Londoners were injured by fireworks.

Councillor Terry Neville told BBC London that the fireworks they are seizing could cause a lot of harm and distress to local people.

'Put through letter boxes'

He said that on Friday they seized a cluster bomb which was being sold to a teenager.

"Only yesterday this was seized from a shop in the area selling it to a lad of 15 who is under age as 18 is the limit.

"This will be let off and there are 100 shots in there which will cause enormous noise and nuisance to residents."

And they found bangers, which have been illegal to sell for two years, at a different shop in a joint inspection with the fire brigade.

Mr Neville said: "These are the sort of things we will find youngsters putting through people's letter boxes."
