Overall, there have been around 70 mobile thefts so far. They have mainly occurred at the two or three largest stages, says the police's press spokesperson Thomas Johansson.
It is where there are most people and where people are also dancing the wildest. It is a perfect environment for pickpockets.
He means that it is not particularly likely that it is about individual pickpockets.
What makes us believe that the thefts are organized is the scope of them itself.
Organized thefts sometimes occur at festivals abroad, according to Thomas Johansson.
But as far as I know, this is the first time it happens at Sweden Rock, yes maybe even in all of Sweden, he says.
On Friday, two cases of drunk flying were also reported at the festival.
There is a flying ban over the area. In addition, it is like driving a car, you are not allowed to be intoxicated when flying drones.
A few cases of assault and sexual harassment have also been reported.
But considering that there are over 60,000 visitors, it is a very calm festival, says Thomas Johansson.
