– Video surveillance in this case has enabled us to identify a person of interest, says police attorney Ola Lund in the East police district to news. Last weekend, over 50 cars were vandalized in Lillestrøm in Akershus. Among other things, car tires were punctured with a pointed object, and car windows were smashed. Yesterday, news reported that the extent of damage was far greater than previously known. Was it information you received after this case that led you to take an interest in the man? – I do not want to go into that further. Photo: The police Known to the police The person who is now arrested is known to the police from before. – To what extent the police have dealt with him in the past, I will not go into specifics. But there is a person who the police know who it is. The man who has been arrested is charged with criminal damage. – We are not at the prosecution stage yet. So for now he has only been charged, and the investigation will continue to reveal whether there are grounds for taking this further. The man has not yet been questioned. And it is not known how he stands up to the charge. – We believe that it will be possible to interrogate the man in the course of tomorrow, says Lund.
