"You look what happened last night in Sweden."



The horror stories never cease coming out of Sweden. This weekend, cops in the southern town of Helsingborg were attacked by a "gang" of about 30 "youths" with some sort of firework-type rockets that forced them to take cover in their cars. Apparently, they were able to apprehend a couple of them, who are only identified by their ages (15 and 18). Translation by Fousesquawk.

(Firework) Rocket attacks in Skåne continue-Police forced to seek protection in police cars

Skåne- A gang continues to attack ordinary people and police in  Skåne with rockets on Saturday night-Sunday morning. Just before midnight police were shot at by a large gang of up to 30 persons in Helsingborg. Around three o'clock, police were again shot at with rockets-this time in Kristianstad, something Expressen reported on earlier. "Police patrols were forced to seek protection in police cars in order not to be hit by the rockets",  police report on their home page.

In Helsingborg, police went out on an alarm just before midnight to Skaragatan (Street) near the area of Frederiksdal.

When police arrived at the location, they discovered about 30 people who were shooting rockets at building materials from a nearby construction site, and cars were beginning to burn. One car was completely burned, and a car sustained damage before rescue services were able to put it out.

According to Expressen, rockets were also shot at police.

Police identified a 15-year-old boy and an 18-year-old man among the persons, who are suspected of shooting rockets at the cars and building materials. A spokesman did not want to disclose if they are previously known to police.

A report on the fire damage is being prepared.

A few hours later, it (happened) again. Around three o'clock  on Sunday morning police were alerted to a kiosk in Kristianstad after a break-in alarm had gone off, police report on their home page. The kiosk is located by Långebrogatan, which goes through the Charlottesborg area.

When police arrived at the scene and got out of their cars, they were shot at with rockets by a dozen masked persons.

"Police patrols were forced to seek protection in the police cars so as not to be hit with rockets," police report on their homepage.

-It is obviously a serious occurrence when police are shot at with rockets in this manner. One can also suspect that the alarm was sounded to lure us to the scene, says Katarina Rusin, press information officer with the southern police region to Expressen.

No police were injured.

Last weekend a gang shot at ordinary citizens in the area of Dalhem in Helsingborg.
