This is the bizarre moment fireworks were launched from a moving car as it travelled down a residential street in Dartford.

The footage was caught on CCTV just after 11pm on Monday.

A neighbour, who asked to be kept anonymous, said they checked the camera after spotting fireworks through the window.

To their surprise, they saw the explosions had taken place right outside their front door – in the middle of a built-up area.

They said: “It was pretty mad. I was making myself a drink in the kitchen and heard what sounded like a bomb going off.

“It was right outside the house. I went to the window and saw the remnants of one of their fireworks exploding.

“It was 11.08pm and the car drove past our house shooting fireworks out of its window.

“They exploded in the street, on the pavement and cars and then they drove down the adjacent street shooting fireworks.

“It looked like one of those fireworks where you light it and loads shoot out.

“It’s pretty crazy footage but it doesn’t look like anyone was hurt or anything was damaged.

“It was pretty stupid to do it where they did it, they were just coming up to a roundabout.

“Because of the night vision on the camera and the car moving quite fast I couldn’t see anyone in it or what kind of car it was, you can just see the explosions.”

The resident added that they had not contacted police about the incident.
