On the night before Monday, there were several car fires in Geneta, Glasberga and Fornhöjden.

On Monday evening, three more cars burned up in Blombacka.

On the other hand, the total statistics from MSB, the Swedish Agency for Safety and Emergency Planning, show that the number of car fires has halved between 2018-2021.

Now during January through last March, 22 car fires have taken place, of which the last four in two days.

- We now see that cars are on fire, we can only hope that it is not a trend break, says Anna Flink.

Collaboration between police, municipality and insurance company

Fraudulent car fires have long been a problem in Södertälje, something SVT has reported on before.

The municipality, the police and insurance companies have collaborated to reduce the car fires.
