The police were first alerted to Övre Villagatan at 23:16 where a man in his 50s examined a home in a way that made the caller suspect that it was an attempted burglary.
The man is found and checked by the police. Certain objects that the man is wearing cause a report of theft to be written and the man is then removed to another part of the municipality.
At 03:44 a window of a grocery store on Brolundavägen is smashed. The incident was initially classified as attempted burglary, but is now classified as vandalism.
At 06:07 the police are alerted to Ymergatan where a man is behaving as if he wants to get into different homes. When the patrols search the area, they find the same man who was checked and suspected of theft earlier in the night. Again, the man has an object with him that is not his. When the object is to be returned to its owner who lives nearby, it is established that the owner’s residence has been burglarized by breaking a window.
The man who has now been found twice during the night in connection with alarms is arrested. The police carry out various investigative measures such as securing tracks and obtaining footage from surveillance cameras.
