More police officers than usual will be among Christmas shoppers in Stockholm’s inner city. Christmas signage, restaurants and shops attract many visitors, and therefore more police officers will be out among people from the end of November.
The idea is to be able to act quickly if necessary and to create security, the police write on their website.
There will also be more police in shopping centers and other densely populated places in the northern and southern parts of the police’s Stockholm region.
“The increased presence is not due to a known or changed threat picture,” the police write on their website.
