This weekend, it was reported that criminals under threat of violence urged residents in Tensta to stay indoors on August 25 this year.

This after TV4 Nyheterna interviewed Therese Rosengren, police area manager in Rinkeby.

The news has provoked reactions, including from Interior Minister Mikael Damberg.

But according to information to SVT Nyheter, the entire description of the course of events is not correct.

"A misunderstanding"

According to SVT Nyheter's source, criminals in the area have urged a number of younger people not to move out late at night.

This was because the persons were at risk of being exposed to violence in connection with an infected conflict.

That the residents of Tensta should have been asked to stay indoors is described as a misunderstanding.

SVT Nyheter experiences that many residents in Tensta now feel upset that they have been described as blindly living by the rules of the criminals.

On site at Tensta center on Sunday, none of the people that SVT Nyheter met recognized themselves in the image of a curfew being introduced.

Several people that SVT Nyheter's editorial staff in Rinkeby were in contact with on Monday confirm that picture.

Police: I'm sure

According to Therese Rosengren, acting chief of police in Rinkeby, this is not a misunderstanding.

The message that you should not be out spread quickly, according to her.

At the same time, she believes that this is a one-off event.

- My colleagues noticed that there were unusually few people on the move in local Tensta.

In connection with this, we also received information that claimed that criminal individuals trumpeted that they should not be out after 18.00, she tells SVT Nyheter.

- We did everything in our power to make citizens feel safe with reinforcements to the area and thus lift this so-called curfew.

Could the information have been exaggerated?

- This is information that has come to our knowledge.

We also received direct information that they felt the presence of the police and that they once again ventured out into the streets and squares.

The next day we started a special effort to work against criminal violence.

During the operation, we have made two detentions since August, says Therese Rosengren.

- Tensta is large and many people live there.

It is good if this information has not come to everyone's knowledge.

But the police are strengthening resources to be visible in the area so that they can feel safe.
