300 tombstones have been overturned or vandalized in blocks 17B and C of the Norra cemetery in Solna.
The incident occurred the night before Tuesday.
– It’s so unfortunate that you don’t believe it’s true, it’s so sad, says Svante Borg, head of administration of the Stockholm cemetery administration.
Staff found out what happened Tuesday morning.
– We saw this today and it is deeply regrettable that someone does this, says Svante Borg, head of administration of the Stockholm cemetery administration and continues:
– 300 pieces. There are many stones there. They have gone from stone to stone and have tried to overthrow them. It’s a scope I haven’t seen before, says Svante Borg.
Be repaired
Svante Borg says they will now repair the stones and the cemetery will now also strengthen security.
– We have increased surveillance in our cemeteries and recently redirected it to further curb this, but now we will increase surveillance, says Svante Borg.

The incident has been reported to the police.

A police report has been made. Police do not want to comment on the information at this time.
Dennis Wedin (M), the citizen council for housing and real estate for the city of Stockholm, writes in an email to Aftonbladet.
“I get so angry, this shows how important it is that we continue security work in the cemeteries in Stockholm. To increase security, the guards have been patrolling around the cemeteries in the evenings and at night. We are now taking specific steps by further increasing staffing and starting work on closing the doors at Norra Begravningsplatsen at night, among other places. “
