Aug 13, 2016
Cars have been set alight in the city of Malmö for nights in a row. Citizens are worried and the police authority has called in reinforcement in order to catch the perpetrators. A police helicopter has been used to patrol the sky at nights, but locals are now starting to complain. Swedish Radio P4 and the newspaper Kvällsposten reports that many people are loosing sleep due to the high level of noise over the city.
The police says that it is constantly balancing the anti-crime need versus the potential disturbance, but it emphasizes that the helicopter is needed in the search for torchers. However, unmanned drones have now been put to use as well.
