SEDGWICK COUNTY — Law enforcement authorities are investigating three reports of alleged aggravated battery involving fireworks.
Just before 10:30p.m. Tuesday, police responded to a disturbance with a weapons call at a business in the 1600 Block of East Lincoln in Wichita, according to officer Charley Davidson.
At the scene, a 19-year-old woman told police she was sitting in her vehicle with the window down. A suspect in a white vehicle threw a mortar-style firework that exploded next to her vehicle. The blast caused minor injuries to her and her vehicle, according to Davidson.
A short time later, police responded to the Pumphouse, 825 East 2nd Street in Wichita's Old Town.
A white Dodge Avenger with tinted windows pulled up along outdoor diners and the vehicle's passenger tossed a lit mortar firework onto the patio and under a table. There were no series injuries or damage to property.
Just after 10:45 p.m. police responded to the 600 Block of North Seneca where multiple individuals told officers a suspect in a white vehicle threw fireworks at those walking in the area. There were no injuries.
Police are looking for the newer model Dodge Avenger, driver and multiple passengers reportedly involved. In addition to the tinted windows, the vehicle has damage on the rear drivers side bumper, according to Davidson.
Police believe all three cases are connected.
