PICO RIVERA -- An anonymous tip led authorities on Thursday to a garage in Pico Rivera where about $20,000 worth of illegal fireworks were stored, deputies said.

The 2:45 p.m. call came to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's Pico Rivera Station, reporting illegal fireworks at a house on Call Street near Passons Boulevard and Rex Road, deputies said.

Deputies did not know how many fireworks to expect when they arrived. But when they looked inside the garage, deputies found about 30 cases of illegal fireworks.

The cases included rockets, mortars, fireworks and explosives.
