“The first assessment is that during the entire Summer Meet there were fewer crimes, disturbances and arrests for drunkenness than the police expected,” writes the spokesperson Johan Thalberg on the police website but adds:
“However, several of the crimes that have been committed are serious and will be investigated further”
Apart from occasional reports of abuse and sexual harassment, a person is suspected of violating the Alcohol Act after selling or leaving alcohol to young people.
