As the Malmö city section chief was heading home after a night out, she stopped in a tunnel and got away with a purple spray bottle. A passerby alerted the police. This has now led to the woman being convicted of vandalism.

The woman had been in Möllan with two colleagues from management in November last year when she brought the bike home through Sallerupsvägen.
He stopped in the tunnel under the inner ring road at Videdal.
Another rider spotted the section chief on the spot with the color purple.
– It was a pure whim that I faced the one who scribbles. He takes the spray from me and turns his back on me, says the cyclist in question.
He urged the woman to remain at the scene while calling the police. But instead, the woman got on the bike and stepped on it. The man then decided to follow him.
The witness hung up all the way to the woman’s home. There a police patrol joined.
Faced with the accusations, the woman stated that she believed that the persecutor was a rapist and that he did not scribble at all.
However, the police patrol was able to establish that he had purple paint on his hands and that there was a spray bottle of the same color badly hidden under a wheelbarrow in the woman’s garden.
The more than a year old incident has now led to the section chief being convicted of vandalism. During the trial, the woman claimed that she did not remember the incident.
The district court believes the penalty for the act is 14 days in prison. However, since the woman has not been punished before and is deemed not to need supervision, the sanction stops at a suspended sentence.
The ruling includes that the section manager must pay a 30-day fine for a total of SEK 12,900 and reimburse the cost of cleaning his work for a total of SEK 2,376.
