The police’s call for Halloween: “Avoid weapon-like objects”

Another reason for the call is an incident in Norrköping on Wednesday that the police initially suspected was about a kidnapping.

– It turned out to be a bachelor party. But it took a lot of resources from us. We were there with ten patrols and a police helicopter was on its way there. We had a small development conversation with the individuals involved afterwards, but hope that the man will have a wonderful marriage afterwards, says Johnny Gustafsson.

Potentially dangerous

Showing up with weapon-like objects, in addition to taking police resources, can also potentially be dangerous.

– If we arrive there with the initial values ​​that it is an armed person and the person who has the object does not understand the seriousness of the situation, it can also become dangerous, says Johnny Gustafsson.

Ongoing wave of violence

The police also believe that the ongoing wave of violence left its mark.

– In the past six months, violent incidents and very young people have been even more in the news, he says.
