Police also suspect the man may be behind the damage at several schools, preschools, bus shelters and other buildings recently in Uddevalla. Last night until Tuesday, some 30 boxes were broken at a preschool.

- We have been given indications that it must be a lone perpetrator who has done the damage, it feels like we have had it confirmed now, says Stefan Kristiansson, police chief in Västra Fyrbodal to P4 West.

The police are now conducting a house search of the man to see if he can be linked to the other damages.
