Date: [Current Date and Time]
In the past 24 hours, Aftonbladet has received numerous inquiries about a rumor concerning a crime planned against malls. However, SOS Alarm, the emergency response coordination center in Sweden, has now refuted this rumor.
According to a statement by SOS Alarm press officer Douglas Norström, the company wants to clarify that they have not released any information of this kind. Norström emphasized that the message circulating on social media and other platforms is based solely on rumor-spreading and should not be shared uncritically.
The circulating message warns people to avoid the malls Mall of Scandinavia and Täby Galleria in Stockholm due to a planned murder and alleged arrests. The source of this information is claimed to be “the wife’s cousin who works at SOS Alarm.” However, SOS Alarm confirmed that no such information has been released by the company.
When contacted, the Stockholm police confirmed that no arrests have been made but declined to provide further comments on the matter.
In a separate development, Aftonbladet has also received similar rumors regarding a planned terrorist attack against the Malmö Festival. However, the Malmö police stated that no credible threat has been received, and the rumors are baseless.
Rickard Lundqvist, spokesperson for the police in South, assured the public that it is safe to attend the Malmö festival. He emphasized that there has been no serious threat and urged festival-goers to report any suspicious activities to the police or security staff on-site. Lundqvist also stressed the importance of being critical of sources and verifying information before sharing it.
As these rumors continue to circulate, it is crucial for individuals to question the authenticity of the information they come across and rely on official sources for accurate updates. False rumors can spread unnecessary fear and disrupt public safety efforts.
Stay informed and trust reliable sources to ensure the safety and well-being of yourself and those around you.
