According to the police’s website, the woman must have reported that she was assaulted at an underpass under the Ölandsleden in the Tallhagen area, around 5 p.m. on Monday.
After a technical investigation of the scene, including with the help of a special search dog, a 25-year-old man was arrested. He is on probable grounds suspected of aggravated rape.
Several people are suspected of being involved
How is it that you were able to arrest a suspect so quickly, is there any known connection between the victim and the perpetrator?
– I cannot comment on that right now because there are so many investigative measures left to do in the case, says the police’s press spokesperson in Region South, to SVT Småland.
Could there be more suspected perpetrators?
– We are looking for more people who are suspected of crimes in connection with this incident, yes.
The police are also calling for more witness information because the incident occurred at a time when there should have been a number of people in motion at the scene.
