Police in Dalarna handled around 150 cases during Midsummer, double the usual number for a weekend. Leksand stood out with the most incidents, mainly linked to alcohol.
Midsummer celebrations in Dalarna meant extra work for the police. According to spokesperson Anders Dahlman, no extreme events occurred, but Leksand required the most attention in the region.
On a normal weekend, police in Dalarna handle about 80 cases. This Midsummer the number rose to around 150. Most incidents were alcohol-related and often involved young people.
Many individuals did not want to report crimes or cooperate with investigations. Police confiscated alcohol directly at several locations.
On Midsummer day, police planned traffic checks across the county. Dahlman urged anyone who had been drinking to avoid driving.
