From Monday, the areas Araby and Spetsamossen in Växjö will be camera-monitored from the air between 16-05 weekdays and at 14-06 Saturdays and Sundays.

Will "detect serious crime"

The drone is a necessary complement to the police's other activities to prevent, prevent or detect serious criminal activity or to investigate or prosecute such crimes, writes Växjö Police on its Facebook page.

The decision has been made by the local police area chief in Växjö, and the drone surveillance will continue until April 19.

Must not film in housing

The drone should only monitor public places with a focus on the center facilities. The drone operator is not allowed to film in the housing or other privacy-sensitive spaces that exist in the areas, but only film public places such as open spaces and green areas where the public has access, the police write.
