Linköping Venue Locked Down Amid Sensitive Police Probe

Published: 2024-04-22

A police operation is currently underway at an entertainment venue in central Linköping, with the location cordoned off since Sunday around noon.

Authorities are tight-lipped about the details but have confirmed the sensitivity of the situation.

The incident is reportedly related to a crime against an individual, and a man has been arrested under suspicion of committing a sexual assault against a woman.

Prosecutors have indicated the suspicion involves rape, and a decision on whether to seek formal detention will be made by Wednesday.

Police emphasize the investigation's delicate phase, stressing the importance of gathering untainted witness statements.
