Five arrested after climate activists spray-paint Government Offices and Ministry of Finance in central Stockholm

The people are suspected of violating the Protection Act, the police wrote on their website.

The five activists had sprayed wheat-flour-based paint using a fire extinguisher, according to TT's on-site reporter. A woman also climbed onto the entrance roof, but then climbed down on her own using a ladder she had with her.

The Government Offices are a protected site. The police were alerted to the incident at 10:40 a.m.
