Police are investigating a report concerning preparation for aggravated arson after a note was found at Sandbackaskolan’s upper-secondary school in Arvidsjaur.
The school said police assessed there was no threat requiring classes to stop, and teaching continued as normal. Police investigation chief Aron Backman told SVT that no suspect has been identified.
SVT reported that the note, found on Tuesday, could be interpreted in different ways. Police have not disclosed its contents. Backman said investigators are examining whether the suspicion can be strengthened or whether the case should be closed.
Police also rejected claims circulating in some forums that the note concerned a school-shooting threat. Some parents told SVT that their children stayed home on Wednesday.
The serious inquiry and the decision to keep teaching must be read together. Opening a case concerning possible preparation for aggravated arson warrants a thorough investigation; it does not turn an undisclosed note into an established threat to pupils or staff. Clear updates from police and the school matter while investigators assess the evidence.
