April 29, 13:42, Liquor Act, Nyköping

At 12:30, the police were alerted to a parking lot in central Nyköping. A citizen had seen a man with alcohol bottles, as well as two young people, standing together.

The police arrived at the scene and found two young people in their 15-year-old age group, as well as a 60-year-old man. The man is suspected of distributing alcohol. 
We would like to commend the citizen who witnessed the incident and contacted the police.

Now, Valborgsmässoafton is approaching, which is a major holiday when it is especially important for adults to take responsibility to ensure that children's celebrations do not end in the wrong way. The risk of being exposed to crime increases significantly when you are intoxicated. 

To you as a parent:

Talk to your teenager about alcohol, parties, and being out late at night.

Never buy alcohol for them. 

Talk to the parents of your child's friends so that you are all aware.

Be prepared to leave in the evening if something happens.

Call the police if something happens. If it is urgent, you should always call 112. If your call is not urgent, call the police on 114 14.

The penalty for distribution is fines or imprisonment for up to two years, in severe cases up to four years.
