SVT is investigating how a young man was able to get past SVT's security guards and into the area behind the stage at Melodifestivalen in Luleå yesterday.
"Security at the arena is of course important and we are continuously working to adapt our security work. We are now investigating what happened but will not comment on details", writes project leader Anders Wistbacka to TT.
The intrusion occurred when the rehearsals had just begun on Thursday. The man in his 20s was arrested and is suspected of trespassing. He is, according to the complainant, said to have tried to enter the area earlier.
The man was later released by the police.
