Just days before the Fourth of July, a Coventry, Rhode Island, fireworks stand was robbed of over $25,000 worth of product early Saturday morning, according to a report by WJAR.
Keystone Fireworks, located on the corner of Reservoir Road and Tiogue Avenue, was completely ransacked after a burglar broke open the locked storage container, according to police. The only items left were the empty boxes that once stored tens of thousands of dollars worth of fireworks.

The stand is being restocked with products from neighboring locations, and is still open to the public.
