The ax was found placed easily accessible to people in an addiction environment in Norrköping city and near a school, according to the police.
“It is now gone from the city’s streets and will never be used for what the name suggests,” writes Maja at Intervention Operations LPO Norrköping.
– From time to time we find axes and knives outdoors. They may be placed there but sometimes may also be dropped by professionals. Often there is no clear owner and there is not always a report, says police spokesperson Angelica Israelsson Silfver.
Such objects are confiscated by the police.
– We cannot leave sharp objects behind, they will be confiscated immediately. Here it was also particularly important given that it was close to a school, says Angelica Israelsson Silfver.
