The police: Be careful in the parking lots
The police call for caution in traffic during today’s cow release in Halland.

Motorboat has run over sailboat
A motorboat has run over a sailboat near Nämdö outside Stockholm.
A man and a woman were down in the hull of the sailboat when a motorboat driver first ran over a dock facility and then ran over the cockpit of the sailboat.
– It was a strong bang. The sailboat has sustained significant damage. Including mast breakage, but not only that. He has passed over the cockpit, that is, driven over it. It was lucky that no one was on deck, says Daniel Wikdahl, press spokesperson for the Stockholm police region.
The driver of the motorboat then drove on from the scene. The man and woman suffered cuts and bruises from the collision.
Later, the maritime police found a drunken man in his 50s who is suspected of being the one who drove the motorboat.
– He is drunk when we meet him, but so much time has passed between the accident and when we meet him that it is not possible to prove that he was drunk when it happened, says Daniel Wikdahl.
The man is suspected of gross negligence in maritime traffic, contagion from a maritime accident and two cases of causing bodily harm.
The motorboat has been impounded.
The accident occurred on Friday evening.

Tomorrow they will be issued as usual again.
Was it a fighter plane that flew over Stockholm today? We heard several about Hägersten recently.

Hello! That’s right! The armed forces have their biggest exercise, Aurora 23, and in several parts of the country they are visible in different ways now.
Is it a vacuum cleaner or a lawn mower that the police are looking for in Huskvarna? 😂
Erika Larsson
It went a little fast there! Robotic lawnmowers are right, we’ve changed that now. 🙂
Tired of seeing Pernilla Wahlberg and her children Bianca Benjamin on many channels every single day, right?
Dinghy
Hi Jolle! Change the channel and scroll on is my advice to you. I imagine that viewing figures show that there is a decent interest in them anyway and that they strike a chord with many.
Regarding spies, how many do we have in Europe, all countries have spies, I think it is foolish to say that you and those countries have so and so many spies, then all countries have them.
Ferko Tan Mercovich
Hi Tan! Don’t understand the criticism. Shouldn’t we report on what it looks like in our area because it exists in all countries? Sounds a bit strange I think.
