– It is cordoned off and we have police in place so nothing else happens. We will do a technical investigation in the morning, says Tomas Ibstedt, an officer on duty at the Stockholm Police.
Police investigate the attack like an arson attempt.
The burning object did not pass through the glass window of the city hall and therefore a large fire could be prevented. Instead, it began to burn outside the house and the fire was quickly extinguished.
Do you have any theories about the motives and who or what is behind the attack?
– Yes, we have, but I don’t want to go into that, says Tomas Ibstedt.
The president of the municipal council, Olov Holst (M), tells P4 Stockholm that what happened is disgusting and calls it an attack on the core of democracy. He considers the fire bomb to be a reaction to the efforts that the police and the municipality have made against organized crime in the municipality of Sigtuna.
– I feel combative. This is not a bus route. At the same time, it is a reaction that, after all, shows that we are on the right track. We have invested considerable resources in the fight against criminal networks and then there are often reactions like this, Holst tells the radio channel.
Due to the damage, the contact center of the city council will be closed on Monday, announces the municipality of Sigtuna on its website. The entrance is closed during the day.
