Suspected fires in Garpenberg

Since April 20 this year, there have been fires in several cottages in the area. The police have three ongoing cases regarding arson. No person has been injured in connection with the fires, but since it involves high values, that is the classification of the crime.

The police do not rule out the possibility that there is a connection between the fires and we are actively working on a number of different investigative measures such as technical investigations, interviews with potential witnesses and door-to-door questioning.

At present, we have no suspects and the cases are being investigated by the police.

In addition to investigating the fires, we are also working to prevent any further fires from occurring through, among other things, police presence in the area. We also believe it is important to be on site so that residents in the area can come forward and speak with us if they have any concerns or if they have tips to share.

If you have tips or knowledge about the fires, do not hesitate to contact the police on site. You can also call 11414 and say "Tips" in the answer and explain that it is about the fires in Garpenberg.
