"Following a call from a very distressed female after her car had been hit with fireworks in the Ardboe area, we carried out searches of individuals which resulted in fireworks being found and seized."

In a Facebook post police say that "throwing a firework at a moving car is just the height of stupidity - this could have easily caused a serious road traffic accident."

"Have a little bit of common sense," they add.

"Do you have a Fireworks licence? No? Then you shouldn’t have fireworks. It really is that simple."
