September 19, 07:50, Summary of the night, Östergötland County

Police have handled over 60 events between 22:00 and 07:00.

03:35 The rescue service is alerted to a fire in a vacant house in Hestra, Ydre municipality. The house is fully engulfed and will be allowed to burn down, and the fire will not spread. Suspicions exist that the house did not catch fire on its own, and certain findings in the vicinity can support this theory. A report of arson is filed, and a cordon is set up pending a technical investigation that will be conducted once it has cooled down during the day.

04:05 A man calls in and reports that he has been assaulted in his apartment on an address in Motala. He claims that two people somehow gained entry into the apartment and beat him. The man, who is in his mid-20s, is taken to the hospital with minor injuries. A report of grievous assault is filed, and there is no one in custody in the matter.

06:41 A man in Svärtinge reports that he has had a break-in in his garage overnight. One or more perpetrators have entered through a window. A lot of things are believed to have been taken, but it is currently unclear what exactly and how much, as a crime scene investigation will be conducted during the day. There is no suspect in the matter.
