Some prohibited items were discovered in the victim's room and in the cellar of the house, according to the statement. The accused had manufactured or modified around a dozen of them himself.
In the statement, the police reminded the public that the handling and storage of pyrotechnic objects is dangerous. There is a risk of explosions, injuries and even death.
