A private person reported to the police when they saw the excavator coming running and it was not dazzled by the lights at a meeting and suspected it could be stolen. The reporter saw that the excavator stopped at Tillbergaskolan and three people jumped out of the machine and into a passenger car.

Three young men were arrested

The police were then able to stop the car and in it there were three men, born in 1991, 1998 and 1999. In the car they had breaking tools and other things which made the police suspect that they were behind the theft. All three were arrested and later they were also arrested for theft. One of the men is also suspected of a violation of the knife law and a violation of the weapons law when he had a jar of pepper spray on him.

The owner of the excavator has been found. A trailer was also found at the location where the excavator was found.
