Summary of police work in connection with the ice hockey match between Björklöven and Skellefteå AIK

Before the match, some Björklöven supporters had gathered at a bar in the city centre. As the supporters walked from the city centre towards the arena, a few bangers were thrown and flares were used. Police checked several people, one of whom is suspected of an offence under the Act on Flammable and Explosive Goods.

There were no incidents to note during the match.

As the match ended, Björklöven supporters walked outside around the arena towards the exit used by Skellefteå’s supporters. One person was taken into custody under Section 13 of the Police Act. This detention was ended after about 20 minutes, when the person had calmed down.

Police assess that the event went fairly peacefully thanks to good cooperation with the organisers and crime-prevention efforts.
