The Virginia Beach Fire Department is asking for help from the public after an illegal fireworks display earlier this week damaged boats at Rudee Inlet.
According to an update from the department, the display began at about 10:30 p.m. on July 3. The large display, not sanctioned by the city of Virginia Beach or the Virginia Beach Fire Prevention Bureau, caused “excessive damage to multiple boats” that were docked in the harbor.
In a video posted to YouTube, dozens of fireworks are seen exploding over the inlet.
Anyone with information about the display can contact the Fire Prevention Bureau at 757- 385-4228 or email [email protected], or the Virginia Beach Crime Solvers to submit an anonymous tip: 1-888-LOCK-U-UP.
