Several fires in Nyköping – one to hospital

— We do not yet know what started these fires. But we have started a preliminary investigation into aggravated arson, says police spokesperson Angelica Forsberg.

At least one of the fires must have started indoors in an apartment building. One person has been taken to hospital by ambulance for a check-up and three more people have been checked by paramedics on site.

— As far as I understand, there should not be any serious injuries.

No one has been arrested. The alarm came in at 10.47pm on Friday. The fires were extinguished quickly and the police have set up cordons in the area.

“We are trying to create a picture of what has happened,” says Forsberg.
