- We have taken this into account and we will be there. They do not have permission to conduct the car meeting, but we have been told via social media that it will probably gather people for a curtge anyway, says Johan Wallenius, the police officer on duty.

"We urge people to stay home and wait for 2021 years of car and bike meet," they conclude the post.
