Nine serious acts of violence in just over a week in Stockholm. One detained, one handed over to social services and five arrested. Now the police announce that another person has been detained on suspicion of crime.
– Just before I entered the studio, I learned that we have another person who has been detained during the evening, late afternoon, says Max Åkerwall, police chief in the Stockholm police region, in Monday’s Aktuellt.
Does not rule out more arrests
Max Åkerwall further states that the person has been arrested. In connection with the exact incident, the police chief does not want to specify, but states that it is connected to the recent spiral of violence.
– I hope we can come back with more substance and information tomorrow.
Furthermore, he does not rule out that more arrests will be made in the future.
– We do everything we can. We are organized in a special event, we have heavy resource reinforcement with uniformed police outside and hidden resources. We’re using every means we have in the toolbox, and we will until we’ve normalized this image.
