Officers recovered several hundred of the fireworks from a shed following the incident, but believe others may have been taken by children in the run up to Bonfire Night on November 5.
The search is focused on the North Lanarkshire area after the 15-year-old was rushed to hospital after one of the devices exploded in his hand at about 5.20pm yesterday.
