At 6:04 p.m., the police received a call about a suspected robbery. The staff must have pressed the burglar alarm in the store when a person entered and displayed a weapon-like object and took goods and money.

Then the person disappeared.

Is the person already known?

– I cannot comment on that, says Lars Hedelin, press spokesperson for the Bergslagen police region.

Searched with dog

After half an hour, a suspected perpetrator could be arrested.

– The dog patrol did a brilliant job and caught up with the young person.

At one o’clock the person was released and Social Services must be involved.

Why was the perpetrator released?

– Because it is a young person, says Lars Hedelin.

No one was physically injured and according to the police, no expensive goods were involved.

The police have filed a report of aggravated robbery and the preliminary investigation is active and more witnesses are to be interviewed.
