– There are probably a lot of cars that have been damaged, operations manager Gjermund Stokkli tells Dagbladet, after a man in his 50s committed car vandalism in a parking lot in Oslo on Thursday morning.
The car park is located next to The Thief hotel in the exclusive Tjuvholmen district in central Oslo.

Stokkli first predicted that it could be 10-20 cars, but his successor as operations manager André Kråkenes declares later in the morning that six cars have been registered damaged: a Range Rover, a BMW i3, two Volkswagens, an Audi TT and a Kia. .

– It is because it was not many days that he was close to becoming infected and therefore he was quarantined, Kråkenes tells Dagbladet.
– So you broke the quarantine?
– Yes, that’s the way it is for us, but he will be investigated when he is now detained, says Kråkenes.

The man has been arrested and has not yet been questioned, his colleague Gjermund Stokkli said early in the morning. He guessed it was broken windows and dented screens and things like that.
“Has taken control”
“We are on our way to a parking lot in Tjuvholmen where a person will hit himself with a hammer. It is also said that he got into a car on the spot,” police wrote on Twitter shortly before 06 o’clock.

“We are on the scene with several police units and we have taken control of the perpetrator. Efforts are being made to obtain an overview of the extent of the damage. “

At ten past six we received a message from the guards in the parking lot, that a man hit him with a hammer, hit cars and damaged many cars. He tried to escape and left the parking lot, but was quickly arrested, Gjermund Stokkli told Dagbladet this morning.

He said the owners of the cars had not yet been informed about the vandalism.
– They’ll probably find out when they come to pick up their cars, and then they’ll probably call us, Stokkli said.
– Did the guards try to stop him?
“No. He was probably blunt and had a hammer in his hand,” Stokkli explained to Dagbladet.
