Norrköping Rocked by Arson Attacks Amid Gang Turmoil

Published: 2024-04-02

In a series of unsettling events, Norrköping has become the focus of police investigations following two separate fires, both being treated as arson.

The first incident involved a poker game ambush where a Molotov cocktail was reportedly thrown into the locale, thankfully leaving no one injured.

Shortly after, a beloved summer café's kiosk was set ablaze, causing significant damage and distress to the owner, who sees no future for her establishment.

These fires are suspected to be linked to escalating gang conflicts in the area, particularly following a major drug bust that has intensified competition among criminal networks.

Police are diligently working to piece together these incidents, which they believe may be connected to a broader pattern of violence within the local underworld.
