What do we know about the people involved?
– We do not know anything more about the people who have been arrested now. The murdered person has been charged with drug offenses and money laundering. He has been involved in criminal investigations and has been linked to people who figure in criminal groups in Gävle. He has also been convicted of assault, which he served in 2021, says Arvid Jansson in Morgonstudion.
Additional person deprived of liberty
On Sunday, the police detained another person in connection with the fatal shooting in Sätra, says Temo Allenbäck, acting local area manager at the Gävleborg police.
Four serious violent crimes in Gästrikland in the past week. What do you say about the development?
– It is worrying, what I find particularly worrying is when it happens in public places during the day where there are a lot of people moving around, he says.
Important to stop new recruitment of young people
According to Temo Allenbäck, an important part of stopping the serious violence is to prevent young people from being recruited into criminal networks.
– It is incredibly important, and it is the key to us stopping events like this in the future.
