Joacim Lundqvist is upset that the snowmobile driver has just left the reindeer.
- It's bad, absolutely not good.
You notice if you drive on a reindeer with a scooter.
You have an obligation to report it, he says.
Increased pressure and hatred towards reindeer herders
Similar crimes occur at regular intervals in Norrbotten, but so far Västerbotten has been fairly spared.
- We hope it stops in the event of an incident.
But the Sami themselves have noticed an increased pressure and hatred after Girjasdomen, especially towards reindeer herders, says Lundqvist.
"Hopeless" to investigate
The incident has been reported to the police and will be investigated by the police in Lycksele.
The police believe that it will be difficult to prosecute the culprit.
- It's hopeless.
There is not much reconnaissance information at the moment, unless someone calls and reports it, says Joacim Lundqvist, game coordinator with the police in the northern region.
