After a turbulent period with several serious assaults and threats, the police feared an escalation of gang violence in central Halmstad. A 19-year-old man, a leader in a criminal network, is suspected of having played an active and central role in the violence. But the crimes have been difficult to investigate as those involved have remained silent and withdrawn information. The man is now at large – but is banned from large parts of Halmstad.
