“Whilst at the location, police were greeted by a 63-year-old Griffith man,” Inspector Smith said.
“Whilst speaking with the man, he informed police that he had something to show them. The man walked into his unit, which was located in a neighbouring unit.

The man immediately lit the firework and threw it into a small open courtyard where it detonated, causing a loud bang.”
