In connection with the New Year’s celebration a year ago, there were noisy fireworks displays, among other things a police patrol in Trosa was fired upon with rockets.
This means that the police have been strengthened with extra resources in the south-eastern parts of the county.
– It was very noisy last New Year in several municipalities in the local police area. We have prepared a reinforced resource, says Albin Fast, group manager for intervention operations in Nyköping.
Several alarms about fireworks
In recent days, several alarms have been called in from the public regarding explosions and fireworks. On Monday, the police reportedly received a large number of reports. And on Sunday evening, the alarm was raised about loud explosions in Nyköping, where around ten young people were seen running from the scene.
Different rules in the municipalities
Even for people over 18, it may be forbidden to use fireworks, even though it is New Year’s Eve.
Each municipality has its own regulations on the areas where it is allowed to shoot fireworks without a special permit.
– I would warmly recommend that you find out via your municipality’s website where you are allowed to be and where you are not allowed to be, says Albin Fast.
