FIREWORKS with the power of military explosives — capable of killing people and destroying buildings — have been stolen from a farm in Shiplake. The fireworks, worth £40,000, were stolen sometime between Friday and Saturday. Jack Burbage, owner of Starfield Fireworks, was storing the deadly rockets in special containers before selling them to professional organisers for Bonfire Night.
