– The unrest in Norrby in June this year is based on a conflict between two loosely composed groups in the area. Exactly what started the conflict is difficult to say. My opinion is that all suspects in this indictment belong to the same side in the conflict and are people who for various reasons are known to the police from before, says chamber prosecutor Joel Pollnow in a statement.
In November, a man was indicted in The 25-year-old for illegal threats after trying to stop SVT reporters from reporting from the scene the day after the riot.
Of the now 14 accused, 11 people are suspected of violent rioting, of which three people are also suspected of aggravated assault and one for aggravated violation of the knife law. Another three people are charged only with aggravated assault. The suspects are between 15 and 53 years old.
The investigation shows that the violent riot occurred on Norrby cross street in Borås at a stage when the police tried to calm the uneasy atmosphere and keep different groups separate. In the crowd, the suspects now went to a joint attack on people and property a little further away. This happened despite the fact that police on the spot tried to stop the course of events.
The aggravated assault occurred a moment later on Östgötagatan near the first crime scene. It is an incident where several perpetrators attack a plaintiff with blows and kicks. suspects, says Joel Pollnow.
– It has been an extensive work to review, assess and compile surveillance films to be able to identify the suspects, says Göran Arvidsson, police investigation leader.
