One clip shows a young man holding the ‘Roman candle’ style firework in his hand after lighting it in the street close to Primark.
The shots barely clear the surrounding three-storey shops before they explode , and a man can be heard shouting angrily after the firework is spent.
A second clip again showed fireworks being set off on The Moor, this time close to the St Luke’s Charity Shop.
A young man is seen laughing and jogging with the Roman candle held over his head as if it were an Olympic torch.
Watch both clips in the video at the top of this page.
