– This came in both via fire alarms and people who saw it burning. The fire quickly became very extensive, says Daniel Wikdahl, press spokesperson at the police. At least two people must have worked in or in close proximity to the affected premises, but there is no information that anyone was injured. The police consider the fire to be arson and have opened a preliminary investigation into aggravated arson. TT: Why do you make the assessment that it was built? – It is a balance of different tasks. Can be linked to the wave of violence Whether the incident can be linked to the ongoing wave of violence is unclear. But Daniel Wikdahl says that they will look at possible connections to other crimes in the investigation. – Things have happened at the site in the past, there was a detonation at this address in January and such information will be included in the investigation of this incident. The warehouse cannot be saved according to the emergency services, which during the night focused on preventing further spread. – As soon as we got there, the roof was on fire, says Andreas Blomquist, officer on duty at the rescue service. Early on Sunday morning, the fire is deemed to be under control and the fire service will allow the building to burn down under controlled conditions. – We save what can be saved, for example trucks, and carry out things of value, says Andreas Blomquist, and adds that at most there were 12 units working on the extinguishing.
