A group of E-bike riders near the Hermosa Beach Pier had nighttime revelers scrambling after launching illegal fireworks in the crowded entertainment district Saturday.
According to authorities at the Hermosa Beach Police Department, the incident happened around 8:30 p.m. near Hermosa and Pier avenues.
Footage of the incident captured a large illegal firework setoff on the beach near a lifeguard stand. Just moments later, around a half-dozen E-bike riders, all of whom appear to be juveniles, are seen riding away from the explosion and into a crowded area on Pier Avenue lined with bars, restaurants and other shops.
The E-bikers come to a stop and form a small scrum before several of them break away and another one tosses an illegal firework into the crowded scene.
