”think the police ought to open a station out here”Mustafa Mohamad
– We drove one of the boys home to his parents, says Patric Fors, spokesman at the police headquarters, shortly after 2 pm.
A short time after the fireworks had been let off it was quiet in the area. The police left again soon after 2 pm.
– I think the police ought to open a station out here, says Mustafa Mohamad, who is very indignant-
”he outdoor cameras have a positive effect in the area, of course, but there are also negative effects - the criminals have moved inside the shopping centre”Mustafa Mohamad
He lives in Kristianstad and works in the area.He usually does his shopping at Gamlegården.
– That isn't possible any longer, he says.
– The outdoor cameras have a positive effect in the area, of course, but there are also negative effects – the criminals have moved inside the shopping centre.
– The plain truth is, they're sure that they won't be punished.They know very well that a lot of bureaucratic details are needed to prove their involvement.
”The problem is how to break up these groups”Mustafa Mohamad
He would like to see a greater police presence.
– I think that shows that the police should open a station here.
At the same time he knows that a police station will not solve the problem of gangs.
– They just move somewhere else. The problem is how to break up these groups.
The police have made a report on harassment and breach of order.
