Police on Sweden Rock: “A quiet festival”

During Friday evening, a man with connections to the Hells Angels was arrested, suspected of serious assault. He was later arrested on probable cause on suspicion of the assault which is said to have taken place at the motor club’s sales tent outside the festival’s entrance.

Otherwise, it has been a quiet festival, the police state.

– What stands out is the gross assault and a couple of other cases that we are looking into more, says Thomas Johansson to SVT Nyheter Blekinge on Sunday.

Technical breakdown

During the festival, one of the police drones also had a technical breakdown and was carried by the wind into a villa garden. The drone, which is about one meter in diameter, landed in the grass in front of several private individuals. No one is said to have been injured and the police then continued surveillance with other drones.

SVT has also contacted the festival’s deputy CEO Sofia Lindqvist Lacinai for a summary of the security situation and additional questions regarding the Hells Angels’ presence at the festival, but without an answer.
