Summary of the police's efforts in connection with the conclusion of Allsvenskan on Sunday.

Sunday, November 10, the police conducted an operation in connection with the two last Allsvenska matches in Stockholm, at Tele 2 Arena in Johanneshov and Strawberry Arena in Solna.  

The organizer of a sports event is responsible for order and security at the event. The police have had a deployed resource to support the organizer in this work.

Before and during the actual match, reports were made regarding, among other things, attempts to violence against a public official, vandalism, and drug offenses. The police also seized 69 explosives and drugs in connection with a search of a supporter bus that was on its way to Tele 2 Arena. The match at Strawberry arena was delayed due to a pyrotechnic incident on the stands.
