Working 'return' statement in 'return throw new Error()'

This couldn't be necessary but I'm curious.

When I used throw statement I used to use with return like this.

return throw new Error('...')

I know there's no need the return but it's working well so I've used this clearly.

Is there a difference between throw and return throw statements?

The throw keyword is not allowed after a return keyword.

return throw new Error("..."); throws an exception, but not the Error object you are trying to create, it throws SyntaxError: Unexpected token throw instead.
