14-year-old in taxi arrested

Shortly before 04:00, the police stopped a taxi at the center of Rosengård with a 14-year-old boy in it. He was arrested on suspicion of aggravated vandalism. However, due to his young age, the arrest was lifted and the boy is taken for questioning.

The site is still cordoned off to a lesser extent pending a technical investigation.
