Domestic. Gottsunda School in Uppsala has deployed guards to protect the children after a 15-year-old high school student was robbed last week on the way home from school by an immigrant gang.
– It has been reported to the police from several places, says Gottsunda School principal Elisabeth Viksten Eriksson to Fria Tider.

It was last Wednesday that a boy who goes to a football class at Gottsundaskolan in Uppsala was on his way to the school bus when he was suddenly surrounded by three masked robbers. The robbers dragged the boy into a bush, forced him to give up his shoes so that he could then go home barefoot from school.
According to information to Fria Tider from a person with insight into the event, the boy is a Swedish student who has chosen to go to Gottsundaskolan due to the school's football profile. The perpetrators are instead immigrants who are described as a few years older than the boy.
“It is not at all certain that he went home barefoot”
When Fria Tider talks to Gottsundaskolan's principal Elisabeth Viksten Eriksson, she broadly confirms the information Fria Tider received about the robbery. However, there are some details she objects to.
– I do not know if he was barefoot, I know he got rid of his shoes. But these are football guys. They usually have extra shoes with them, so it's not at all certain that he went home barefoot, she says.
Okay?
– I want to be very exactly. And I also know nothing about any shrubbery.
The principal confirms that the robbers were three in number and that they were masked. However, she does not want to say anything about their origin.
– I know nothing about the perpetrators. I do not even know if they are boys, she says.
Guards should protect students
Gottsundaskolan has now deployed guards who will protect the students after school, when they are on their way home, so they do not get robbed.
– There are guards who do not belong to the school but to Gottsunda center, and we cooperate with them now to secure students because this happened after school. So they move extra around the school and the buses after school, Elisabeth Viksten Eriksson explains.
She also says that the robbery was reported to the police.
– We know that it has been reported to the police from several quarters. The school has reported to the police and the guardians have reported. So this is being investigated now, she says.
– The most important thing is to secure the vulnerable student and peers around. We have spent a lot of time talking and mediated contacts with crime victim hotlines and youth hotlines. We work together above all to secure the students and take care of the vulnerable boy. . The costly investment for taxpayers has in several reports been highlighted as a success story because the football classes have succeeded in attracting Swedish students from other parts of Uppsala.
– We have succeeded in attracting students from Eriksberg, Norby, Knivsta and other areas such as otherwise not so often looking in our direction, said Elisabeth Viksten Eriksson when the integration initiative was recently launched.
That a Swedish student who goes to Gottsundaskolan is robbed on the way home from there is therefore seen as a setback for the so-called integration.
