Police comments at night.
STOCKHOLM REGION
Eva Nilsson, spokeswoman for the police in Stockholm:
– It’s been a lot of hits, but it’s been all month. But in the past hour, a third of the talks have been about firecrackers or rockets.
– We activate the alarms when there is danger for people or animals, or when they are inside residential areas. But we can’t set off all the alarms because then we wouldn’t have time for anything else.
– It is always the case at this time around midnight, that there are many rockets and firecrackers. But they must not target anyone else or blue light personnel.
SYD REGION
Evelina Olsson, Southern Police Press Spokesperson:
– There is a constant influx of callers who learn of the careless use of fireworks and firecrackers. Fortunately, we have no injuries and there does not appear to be any property damage.
– We may have a car fire in Malmö which could have been caused by fireworks. There have also been alarms that people have been shot at people, property and cars they drive. And it really is throughout the region.
– In the last 24 hours, we have 289 boxes of fireworks and firecrackers. If you compare that to last year, we only had 160, and in 2018 we had 125. So that’s a difference.
VÄSTRA GÖTALAND REGION
Morten Gunneng, police officer on duty in Västra Götaland:
– It shoots wildly everywhere. I don’t know why, somehow it’s true that people get a little bored, so you don’t usually get that much conversation.
– Regarding the rocket launch, it seems that this year has become more extensive and neglected compared to previous years, especially, the rocket launch has decreased with age, we talk about that sometimes children of 10, 11 year olds shoot each other. This is not a proper order.
